Hersch Pahl's Non-Combat
"Cornerstone" Stories
|
This is a collection of stories which I call the "Cornerstones of my aviation experiences", which I wish to share.
When you reach the end of each story, use the 'Return' Link' that will return you to this Navigation
Area, and then you can continue on reading the next story, and so forth.
I hope you enjoy these short vignettes of my aviation experiences.
• Buy War Bonds - Story #1 -
During the War, the government was in a great need for cash to buy war materials, which influenced Hersch Pahl
during his unusual flight with an F6F Hellcat fighter plane.
• The Search Mission
- Story #2 - This story is one of the "Corner stones" of my aviation experiences, which I plan to share.
This one involves the search for a very small object in 1600 square miles of open ocean (an area measuring 40 miles
by 40 miles).
