T O P I C R E V I E WRob SumowskiHi All:I sent my mahogany B-29/X-1 combo model to General Bob Cardenas (Pilot of the B-29 that launched the X-1 on 14 October 1947), and within one week received it back signed and inscribed "From the X-1 Team" by Gen Cardenas. He also sent along three signed metal data plates from his B-24, B-29, and Flying Wing assignments. The General would not accept a dime for his signature. It really meant a lot to me. What a gentleman.Rob Jurg BolliGlad to hear you had a good experience after the nightmare!Jurg David StephensonHi Rob,i had a similiar experience with Gen.Cardenas,he is a genuine nice guy.All the best,David.apollo11lem5Hi Rob...I am very pleased to hear of your great result from General Cardenas !!
