Tony will be at Texarkana Regional Airport (TXK) on Tuesday, October 7th, with Sentimental Journey, the B-17 of the Commemorative Air Force's Arizona Wing.  Come out to see and hear this beautiful aircraft, and stop by to visit with Tony.  He will have new updates about the efforts to lift Miss Deal from the Dollart.  This will be the first B-17 raised from Dutch waters in 45 years.

Tony will also be autographing copies of his book 25 June 1943:  The Search for Miss Deal and the Early Raiders on the Reich.  As always, proceeds from the book will go towards lifting the aircraft and bringing home 2LT John R Way and SSGT Charles E Crawford.  Tony will be available with advice and encouragement to others who are missing friends and family members from WWII.  Please stop by and visit!
