Martin: I recently
ran across your website and I truly appreciate your interest/love of the A26. The reason
I am writing is that I have a bit more information on one of the early trail blazers/survivors of the A26 world, N4852V.
The pilot/man responsible for the original modification was a good friend of my father and his “boss” during World
War II. When I get a chance I will see what I can dig up and write a bit of a historical summary of what I remember
from my conversations with both my dad and his friend. I can’t
plug all of the holes, but I can possibly share a bit of insight into the making of this unique aircraft. I have known this airplane form pictures and
stories for about 40 years. The plane was owned and operated by Lutcher Brown, and my dad's great friend form World
War II, Walt Clark, flew it. They were responsible for the the original modifications (airfoil, cabin, etc.). A few exterior shots…..and interior from
the passenger compartment, and one of the instrument panel. Most people would think it was a bunch of antique junk by
today’s standards, but this was pretty smoking for the 60’s! Anything look familiar?
