To all USA Veterans, a Salute and Huge Thank You on Veteran's Day 2024.

This from a member of the Factory Five family, who may have not personally been in any armed service, but have a memorable father,
Walter Brandle, WWII 1st Lieutenant, U.S. Army Air Corps, who among many duties and experiences, served as a Flight Test Engineer on the Boeing B-29 Superfortress development program.

On Nov. 2, 2024 I had the pleasure to display my FFR Gen 3 Coupe at the Arizona Commemorative Air Force Museum at Falcon Field, Mesa, Arizona, at the Vintage Wings and Wheels Car Show. At this show I was able to display my Coupe with an operational WWII era B-25 Mitchell bomber.

A lot of time has passed since WWII as has technology. Even my 60's experience has been upgraded numerous times.
