In the second half of the 90’s while poking around an old metal hangar behind the static displays at the March Air Museum.....and n an area where I was most definitely not suppose to be. Curiosity got the best of me and I was peeking through small holes or any crack that would allow me to see in. Inside I saw the nose cone of a P-38 and it had Marge’s picture on it. Add the 50 years of aging to it, you can imagine the condition. I honestly was in “shock” when I saw it. The historical significance of what I was looking at still gives me chills to this day.
I never found out what happened to it but I was comforted to know the Chino Planes of Fame restoration facility was a few miles away. I was just telling a coworker about that day.
