Last Updated September 01, 2008


Dr. Joe Leeker has updated his studies on Aircraft of Air America and History of Air America.

Aircraft of Air America:  The Aircraft of Air America contains a lot of updates made in the usual way, including some new photos. The mystery of the Grumman Goose has finally been solved, and then there is a lot of new info about the C-46s involved in the Bay of Pigs and the B-26s based at Tainan.

History of Air America:  The History of Air America contains updated versions of those narrative files (AAM in Laos I, II, III etc.) already published in the 3rd edition of the "Aircraft" plus some narrative files that are completely new like "Air America in South Vietnam" I, II, and III. Additional info about CAT in Guatemala in 1954, at Diem Bien Phu, and in Indonesia can be found in the file about "Air America in Japan". Some files like "Air America in Thailand" will follow at a later date.

REQUEST FOR STORIES ABOUT O.B. HARNAGE

Message from Rob Harnage:

Dear Friends and Family, On behalf of the Harnage family, I want to extend the sincerest thank you for the kind words and prayers received from many of you. For those who were able to attend Dad’s funeral services, it was a pleasure to rekindle old acquaintances and make new ones. It was an honor to meet those individuals who knew my Father.

It has been suggested that I write a book about my Father. The truth is that I am currently putting the finishing touches on a fiction novel that I started eight years ago. I welcome the challenge of writing about my Father. I would like to invite those of you who knew my Father to write a paragraph or two or more about your relationship with O.B.. This will help me in getting a better picture of what was behind the man. I saw Dad from a Son’s eyes. I have learned more about my Father in the past 30 days then I did in a life time. I am still in awe about some of the stories and experiences I've heard from many of you.

If you wish to participate in this project, you may send your correspondence via email or to my home address: 7170 S. Y Lightning Ranch Road Hereford, Az. 85615

Thanks and God Bless, Rob Harnage
