FORD TRIMOTOR July 6, 1941

Ford Trimotor      My dad, Walter L. Huey, and his friends used to ride their bicycles from their neighborhood over to the Phillip Billard Airport, about around 6 mi. away, to watch the planes comming and going. During the year 1941 he photographed various civilian and several military aircraft at this airport. He ended up joining the Marines in 1943. Collecton of Gus Huey, 6-10-07
