In Reply to: Had a chance to tour through one at the EAA show back in 06 or 07.. posted by Lee M on September 23, 2014 at 08:23:50:
My dad was an instrument mechanic at a Lank squadron during WWII. A local airshow had a restored Lank on display. I had made previous arrangements for him to have a tour of the aircraft as a birthday present for him. It turns out that the restorer's had consulted with him at the beginning of the project on placement of some of the instruments, although he had not seen the plane. He had sent them drawings (from memory) of how things were wired. He climbed in the side door and crawled around up to the cockpit and chatted with the pilot for a while. When he got off he was walking towards me and he had a tear in his eye. I asked him how it was and he said "They were a hell of a lot bigger when I was 18."
