Chapter 2 "Black Market Aircraft" is a very large one and is worth a book in itself. If tracking warbirds mention must go to Israel's airplane trafficing, Latin America, Trans Florida Aviation. Pan Am, Shell Oil, China and Taiwan and the South Pacific...ect. There was a lot of warbird movements in those area with all kinds of aircraft...Just remember too that Ed Maloney was in the midst of this in the late 1950's...He saw more aircraft he missed than many would care to know about...Like the time he told me about not getting the tricycle gear F5F that was down in Glendale...
