    Loving it...1941, WOW...Your assistant was simply burned out by making notes of everything for you...The elevators and tail wheel where kind of scary, that's a lot of corrosion. But it's all going to be awesome in the end. Again...3-31-41...WOW...

      Pretty amazing piece of history. I imagine it served in the war training Army Air Corps pilots. Hopefully somebody recognizes a relative working for Piper in the 1940’s.

    This will be a good video series. I have a buddy's J-5 fuselage sitting in my hangar (wings and stab are on his hangar's walls). It doesn't really need restoration. But if it were mine, I'd do a restoration on it.

    Have you thought about contacting Piper and seeing if they have a company Historian? The 5 digit number under the names is likely they Employee ID number. It would be neat if you could put a face with a signature.

      Dennis, What a great idea. I will look into that. I did find a William Merritt residing in Loch Haven Pa. who died not too long ago. I think he was a Pastor, however, he would have been too young. Perhaps his father whom I could not find anything on.
