ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL ‘TASTE OF FLIGHT’ FUND-RAISER


The 8th Annual Taste of Flight fundraising event was a resounding success! Over $120,000 was raised through ticket sales, donations and silent auction - funds that will support the on-going education and restoration programs at Planes of Fame.

Many thanks to our title sponsors Jim and Jane Slattery, and our guest speaker WWII legend Colonel Bud Anderson, who were instrumental in the evenings success. Taste of Flight guests enjoyed delicious food from Impressions Catering, Cannataro’s, Lucille’s Smokehouse BBQ, Mountain Mike’s, Picasso’s, and Gourmet Gourmet Catering. Delicious wines from Bella Luna Estate Winery, Jack Creek Cellars, Venteux, CASS Vineyard & Winery, and Victor Vineyards were also served. In addition, the event featured beers from Anheuser Busch (who offered Stella Artois Cidre and their signature beer), Stone Brewing Co., Wiens Brewing Co., and Gordon’s Home Brew. And for the first time, guests could sample spirits from Chopin Vodka. It was truly an evening to tantalize and satisfy the taste buds!

Guests were able to bid on dozens of interesting Silent Auction items, including a variety of collectable aviation pieces, and many items Col. Anderson personally autographed for the event. American Airlines donated two round trip tickets, and Micargi Bicycles donated two beach cruisers painted up as Col. Anderson’s WWII P-51 ‘Old Crow’. Artist Chris Demarest displayed his portraits of historic WWII personalities, stimulating much awe and conversation, and painted a portrait of Col. Anderson on-site as the night progressed.

After the tasting and auction, guests adjourned into the Maloney Hangar for dessert, served by Spaggi’s, and the highlight of the evening, Col. Anderson’s presentation. Giving his audience a

short history lesson about life in the U.S. before the outbreak of the war, he set the stage for what it was like for our young men to go overseas. He then spoke eloquently about his experiences in the 357th Fighter Group during WWII.

It was with great pleasure that Planes of Fame presented Col. Anderson with the portrait Chris Demarest had painted that evening. After autographing 25 P-51 desk models from Factory Direct Models, countless photographs, the bicycles from Micargi, books and shirts (which were all auctioned off to benefit Planes of Fame), Col. Anderson, generous as he is, said, “Don’t you want to auction this too?” Col. Anderson, is a true gentleman and we were honored to have him be our keynote speaker at Taste of Flight.

The event would not have been possible without the contributions of our amazing volunteers: Event Chair Karen Hinton, Auction Chair Hillary Streichenberger, Graphic Designer Susie Harrison, Cindy DeLaurell, Valerie Maloney, Irene James, , and many more who helped beforehand, and at, the event. Special thanks to several staff members who went above and beyond to make sure the event ran smoothly: John and Kristen Maloney and family, Harry Geier, Pancho Rodriguez, and Jerry Wilkins.

Don’t miss the next one… Mark your calendar for the 9th Annual Taste of Flight October 24, 2015!

GRAND OpENING OF pLANES OF FAME RESEARCH LIBRARYOn November 15th we celebrated our Research Library Grand Opening and Authors Day. Speakers included Steve Hinton, President followed by David Landier, Docent Coordinator, Cindy DeLaurell, Volunteer Coordinator and Lisa Collinsworth, Archive and Collection Manager. Each spoke about the excitement generated at Planes of Fame with the official opening of the Research Library.

The Library has been a dream of many people through the years and is truly a milestone in the museum’s development. After the speakers finished, everyone present walked over to the Library for a ribbon cutting ceremony and tours of the library were offered to our guests. And of

course there was cake! Before and after the ribbon cutting, several local authors were on hand to sell and autograph their

books for museum guests. We hope to make the author’s day an annual event.

A big thank you goes out to each and every volunteer that helped get the library open. Planes of Fame appreciates all the donors who have donated books and financial support through the years, including recent donors Robert Nishimura and the Gann Family. The library will be open Saturdays from 10-4. Just a reminder that our library is non-lending. All use of library books must occur in our facility. Check the website for current information about the Research Library. We look forward to continually expanding our collection so please visit us soon.

YOKOSUKA/AICHI D4Y3, AKA: JUDY, DIVE BOMBER & KAMIKAZEBy: Ed Maloney

The “Judy” was designed by Yokosuka Naval Arsenal and built by Aichi Aircraft and the Hiro 11th Naval Air Arsenal. It was originally a high-speed dive-bomber, but used for high-speed reconnaissance duties as well as night interception missions.

The body of the Judy was larger than the Zero “Zeke”, but it had a bomb bay and could carry a 500 lb. bomb in its fuselage. Its maximum endurance was 2,200 miles on reconnaissance missions. The Judy had four versions – Models 11, 12, 33 and 43. The Models 11 and 12 were used for dive bombings and Models 33 and 43 were for kamikaze missions. The power plant of the Model 12 was the 1,400 hp “Atsuta” 32 engine. The production of the Atsuta 32 engine, however, failed to keep

pace with airframe output. Moreover, maintenance of this engine required too much time and in 1944 the power plant was replaced with the 1,400 hp air-cooled

“Kinsei” 62 radial engine to make the Model 33 (D4Y3).

The Model 33 was less maneuverable at takeoff as compared with the Model 12, but was more practical because there were almost no engine troubles. While

the Judy had outstanding speed, the compact air frame made mass production difficult. Also, the Japanese adopted electric devices for operation of almost all of

the Judy’s equipment, such as retractable landing gear, bomb bay door, main flaps, air brakes and auxiliary flaps. The exception was the wheel brakes which were controlled by hydraulic pressure. In June of 1943 it was formally assigned as a dive bomber

and reconnaissance aircraft.

The various models were built from 1942 up to Japan’s surrender in 1945. A total of 2,319 were produced, including 1,819 by Aichi Aircraft and 500 by the Hiro 11th Arsenal. The Judy made its first appearance at Midway and saw action in February, 1944 at Truk Island and the battle of Marianas in September 1944. In the Philippines and Okinawa, it was used mostly for suicide attacks. By 1945 it was also used as a night fighter, armed with 20mm inch cannon, obliquely fixed in the rear cockpit and firing forward, inclined upward. Japanese Adm. Ugaki, Head of the Kamikaze Naval forces on Kyushu, flew in a D4Y3 Judy 33 on a kamikaze mission near the end of the Pacific War and was never seen again.
