It’s said that the good lord protects children and fools. Perhaps that explains it. For on some level, Clark Seaborn, Hank Galpin, Gary Underland and Ron Hackworth all know they must be fools. Who else, after all, would take on the challenge of taking a few scraps of rotting wood and twisted metal from planes so rare that engineering drawings don’t even exist for them anymore … and try to make them fly again?
“Why did I agree to do it?” laughs Seaborn, who spent 17 years restoring a 1929 Fokker Super Universal. “Sheer stupidity.”
