    Lefty Gardner and Lloyd Nolan did not buy N25Y from the Air Force!
    It was surplussed in 1946 and was owned through the forties by JD Reed of Houston.
    Well, there is one more piece of info found to be miss quoted.
    I had heard the other but I never have a problem being corrected.
    I Read the Bearcat story in Air Classics back in the 80's. I don't remember who told me the Lefty story. But I know it was told to me not read.
    I can vouch for the test pilot stuff though. I was there for both. I was the lowly mechanic.

    And By the Way, Thanks for setting me straight. I can now tell the real side. I hate passing bad info. I carried that story for 20 years.
