    This article is from the 1958 Journal Gazette in Ft. Wayne, Indiana when Tom won his 1st National Air Race title w/ his Cassutt 111 Racer. Tom never bragged nor even told us grandkids about his wins & accolades racing so this is my 1st time to ever see this content. It's really amazing; super proud

    This 1954 Long Island Daily Newspaper article is awesome! It talks about how Tom during his downtime as a TWA International Pilot would strap the wings of his newly designed 111 Racer to the top of the car & tow his plane to the Amityville, NY Airport, assemble it there, and test fly it.

    Here's another great article from Tom's archives from the 1957 Oshkosh Daily Newspaper covering Steve Wittman's 1st Place Win & Tom's 2nd Place finish @ The '57 National Air Races. I love this picture too b/c Tom & Steve were great friends & colleagues in addition to racing competitors. CLASSIC
