Who is the Third Party?

Yo, It's Me

Me, in this case, is Scott Thompson, webmaster of aerovintage.com and owner of Aero Vintage Books. Bill Stanczak and the Desert Rat team have asked me to be an independent third party who can verify that they are doing with the money what they say they are doing with the money.

For the record, I am not connected in any way with the restoration effort going on with 41-2595. But I can state that I am a firm supporter of the effort and have visited to see the efforts these guys are making toward restoring this rare B-17E.

(And, I was an Eagle Scout.)

This is a good chance for a bunch of people to make small donations that will make a huge difference. The ultimate goal is to complete this restoration and get the Desert Rat flying again. At that point, it will be much easier to fund and keep the airplane going.

I encourage anyone with any questions or concerns to email me directly
