Hollywood, Calif. From the 1965 CNAC mailing list: Pendergast (yes, misspelled), John Flying Tigers Line Lockheed Air Term. Burbank Calif. December 13, 2000 Received the following e-mail from George Gewehr, the current Historian of the Flying Tiger Line (FTL) Pilots Association. Hi Tom: In our book Tiger Tales, Art is mentioned more then once. For example, the writer of the book was in maintenance before he became a pilot. He relates and incident that happened at F.T.L." One of the mechanics I worked with was Art Prendergast, who was mentioned in the CNAC introduction and also in the Dewline chapters." Art was a wiry little guy who might be the one who coined the phrase, "I'm not small, I'm just wound up real tight" One time Art was high up on a "Cherry Picker" working on the tail of a DC-6, when Bob Prescott noticed him. Bob called up, "Hey Art, come down on down. I want to talk to you". Art looked down and said, " It's no farther for you to come up here than for me to go down there!" Bob shook his head, laughed and climbed the ladder. Cheers, George Gewehr  or would like to be added to the CNAC e-mail distribution list, please let the CNAC Web Editor, Tom Moore, know. Thanks! |
