Frank Borman

Any more info available on this "Arizona Historical Society"? Sounds like Disneyland for airplane nuts!

I called them when researching Frank Borman. it's a standard historical society for all things Arizona so not specific to aviation. I guess Walter Douglas had such a presence and economic impact on Tuscan while owning and operating Gilpin Airlines that the society thought his papers, records, etc. were worth accepting when donated by his son.
His family was prominent in California and Arizona and made its fortune in mining. Walter branched out into aviation.

I know Frank personally and might be able to get you his phone number. PM me and will see what I can do. I realize this is an old post but it's worth a shot to help you.

Thanks for the offer, PM sent with my phone #. Another member gave me Mr. Borman's email address and I emailed him. He replied a couple of days later and said he soloed in a Tcraft but didn't remember the N#. Please call if convenient.
Thanks.

Tried the YouTube address used earlier and it seems to be dead. The Boremann interview is here too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9U0jpAZK58
