It's a long, but exhilarating read. My grandpa told stories of his wartime flying experience, including stealing a plane to go to a party at another RAF base where Clark Gable was attending. Some things sound exaggerated, but it's an impressive story nonetheless. I'd really like to see it turned into a film.

Wikipedia says the registration was NC-18609(A), not NC18602 as in the article. I also noticed that the photo of the first ever Boeing 314 shows registration NC18601, which would make 18602 the second model ever built. Can anyone confirm which registration number is correct?
