OSHKOSH, Wis. This is the story of a national treasure. Like many treasures, it had been lost, but through research and determination and luck – the greatest superpower of them all – was found and saved from a fate that nations around the world would have considered a tragedy.
Yes, this treasure was that important.
“Every day, people say, Thank you for saving this plane, ’’ said Dave Berrio, a member of the Commemorative Air Force Central Texas Wing and a 30-year Air Force veteran. “Absolutely, every day.”
