WORKED AS AN ENGINEER DRAFTSMAN FOR PAN AMERICAN IN SAN FRANCISCO. ONCE, DURING THE WAR, ON A FLIGHT TO HAWAII ON A PAN AMERICAN CLIPPER ON A BUSINESS TRIP, HE SPOTTED A JAPANESE ZERO NEARBY. MY DAD TOOK A BROOMSTICK, PUT IT OUT THE WINDOW AND MADE LIKE HE WAS MACHINE GUNNING THE ZERO AND THE ZERO TOOK OFF.
