My dad was a pilot. Every month he got a yellow newspaper like publication called Trade a Plane. I used to go through every add looking for WWII aircraft. In the late 60's I recall seeing a restored Spitfire for 10K, there was some outfit in Florida that did 2 place conversions on P-51's. 35K. I used to beg my dad to get one. Even as a teenager I knew they were going to only go up in price. Every couple of months there would be a Bearcat, Sea Fury, you name they were posted. Of course I just knew when I turned 16 there would be either an XKE or 911S in our driveway. Aim high shoot low.
