Bio

At an early age Walt was interested and enthusiastic about learning how to fly an airplane. He worked on several Nebraska farms and ranches to pay for his schooling at Lincoln Airplane and Flying School in the 1930's. At the school he not only learned to fly but added Fabric and Metal certifications to his portfolio. During WW2 he moved his wife and child to South Omaha where they resided for the duration of the War, and Walt worked at the Glen L. Martin Plant located on the Offut Air Field, making Bombers for the government.
