FROM Dick Phillips
I'm going to go to lunch in about an hour with Chuck Doyle, and I'd hate to see an early warbird owner list without his name on it. Anyone that has owned a couple P-51A's and an A-36A, plus something in the neighborhood of 5 P-51D's and two P-40s, the only existing P-35, etc, should certainly be on the list. Then there is another nearby neighbor of mine, Wally Erickson, who was a partner of Doyles, in the early days.
