“Boeing built about 10,000 of these airplanes from 1939 to 1944. Its sole purpose was to train World War II aviators,” said Fisher. He was a teenage crewman aboard PBY Catalina patrol planes, which were used to search for enemy submarines, when war erupted on Dec. 7, 1941. The organization, Dream Flights, offers veterans flights on vintage Boeing biplanes that were used to train aviators in World War II.“I had just finished lunch and gone to the library to look at some books,” Muncy said, recalling the Day of Infamy.
Muncy appreciates the support he’s received in later years as a wartime veteran and member of the Greatest Generation, including from the crowd that came to see him fly Tuesday.
