We’ll hear about the North Dakota native’s work welding P-38s together at Lockheed’s Burbank, CA plant before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. He’ll also remember his Navy service during World War II, his time in the Air Force during the Korean War and the Cold War, and the last quarter century spent restoring aircraft at Castle Air Museum in Atwater, CA.
