It takes awhile for the enormity of the surplus at hand at the end of World War II to be truly grasped. The United States disposed of millions of dollars worth of surplus military equipment and this book gives the reader the total overall picture of the distribution of World War II U.S. aircraft. It shows the continued use of some of these planes for civilian non-military purposes as well as the scrapping and salvaging of others. Many sites involved in this massive distribution are documented in this book. Readers who are interested in what survived and what may still be flying as well as how many were reduced to ingots will find, in addition to the extensive photo coverage, an emphasis on prices, totals available for sale and licensed, etc., information that has not been documented in one book before.

Jack Conroy, the creator of the Pregnant Guppy, believed in his visions and didn t tolerate naysayers. His smile was an integral part of his personality. With it he charmed the ladies, was devilish when he was up to mischief, and was disarming when he wanted to be. Conroy sold the stock he had in the company that operated the Guppys after a difference of opinion with some stockholders. He then started the Conroy Aircraft Corporation and that s where this story begins. During its five years of existence, Conroy's creative genius and individuality took the company on an exciting roller-coaster ride. The authors, Kirby and Warner, believed, and still believe, that Conroy was one of aviation's truly great visionary entrepreneurs and promoters. They were with Smilin' Jack from the very conception of the Conroy Aircraft Corporation to its heart-wrenching demise. The authors have a natural story-telling talent that brings this saga to life for the reader s enjoyment. We believe you will find this book informative, fascinating and a delightful read. Clay Lacy graciously wrote the book's foreword to honor his long-time friend, Jack Conroy. They had many flying adventures together and some misadventures as related in this book.
