Granddaughter of P51 Pilot Flies WWII Biplane

Posted by Scott Brown on September 10, 2009

Dream became reality for my daughter Kelly Bradrick last week when she and her husband visited friends in Colorado and were gifted with rides in a fully restored vintage WWII Stearman Biplane. Kelly, author of Coming In on a Wing and a Prayer, has spent countless hours talking to her grandfather, researching, and writing about planes during WWII and this flight was the culmination of a long held dream. Thank you Bill Brown. And thank you Ben Sollenbarger of 007 Dusting. My father, Bill Brown, trained in a plane just like this to prepare to be a WWII P51 Mustang fighter pilot. My father's story is also recorded in Doug Phillip's film, "League of Grateful Sons."
