All WWII vehicles were owned and driven by local collectors
who were friends of the 92nd, and of Americans in general.



 
 

Ralph and Jack Spratt in the Services Club.
The framed newspaper story between them describes the awarding
of Bronze Stars to Jack's crew by General Patton. They had bailed
out of their B-17 near the front line in France, and were rescued by
Patton's soldiers. Patton expressed his gratitude for the 8th AAF's
support of his army by awarding Bronze Stars to the entire crew.
