A coworker of mine...........
told me that his uncle flew or was on a crew that flew the B17's into
Oahu three hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor. He then went on to tell me that his uncle went on to fly B29's in the Pacific, his particular bomber was call the Cock Wagon. The nose art depicted a rooster pulling a wagon. Did some googling and came up with nothing. Anyone come across such a ship or pics on the web? My coworker promised to bring in some pics. I told him we could scan them, maybe post them at heavybombers.com to help preserve them for future generations. Any other suggestions on what to do with them once scanned? TIA |

male pattern baldness is a disorder that has an effect on the hair follicles, which are
alopecia areata piece of the skin from which hairs expand. In most cases, hair falls out in smaller, round patches about the dimensions of a quarter. The extent of the hair reduction male pattern baldness varies in some instances, it is only in a number of spots. In other people, the hair loss can be larger. From time to time it can include the whole scalp (alopecia totalis) or even all the entire body and scalp (alopecia universalis). It is not possible to predict how considerably hair will be misplaced. Regrowth of hair in common alopecia areata is normal about a time period of months or, at times, years, but are unable to be guaranteed. The hair at times regrows white at least in the first instance. Additional hair reduction is not uncommon. In alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis the probability of complete regrowth is less. |

TIA Might want to send them to http://b-29.org as well. I believe they would be appreciative of any photos and info you can provide them. Brooks |

He said he'd flown B-29s and such in the South Pacific. Had quite a time of it. We talked about the B-29 and he commented how sweet it was to fly compared to his earlier planes. When I asked him the name of his plane he chuckled, looked around and said semi-quietly "We called it 'The Cock Wagon.'. On the nose it had a rooster pulling a cart. There was supposed to be a girl too but we lost the plane before the nose are was finished." So there you have it, the pilot of the "Cock Wagon" is in his 80s now, alive and well and flying model airplanes in Casa Grande, AZ. If I see him again I'll try to get a bit more info from him, maybe a picture. He said for many years he didn't like to talk about the war but now people are asking, especially the younger folks in their 20s, and he was starting to reminisce more. Doug |

If you ever run into him again, I'd like to know his name and if he'd be willing to talk to me that would be really great. My recollection is that the pilot's first name was Paul, but I could be wrong.
Unfortunately, my dad passed away 5 years ago. I know he would have liked to see an old crewmate. I think my mom still has some pictures, but I don't remember any of the plane or the nose art, which was what originally prompted my search. |
