Emil Strasser Who is this person I've never heard on him.

As for the aircraft I know the whole story he bought them to use in movies but it did'nt pan out so he made back the money by selling off all the gas. Then picking the best to keep then selling the rest for scrap.

I've heard stories over the years that some of these aircraft were major combat vets. In this list were aircraft from Im Shima the 91st 303rd 357fg 55ft.

Their were more than just B-17s, their were B-24,B-25 mustangs C-47, At-6 and at least five B-26s

Cheers Rob
