Notes: I believe that this photo was taken much later that 1949. In 49 Miss Comic Wind was being raced as the hybridized #4 Minnow by Fish Salmon and painted Bronze with Cream White trim. Bob Downey would later purchase #6 Miss Comic Wind sometime in the late 50s or early 60s and would eventually rename the plane Ol Tiger and painting it red, white and blue before acquiring #14 Little Gem from Danny Sherman after Reno 64 and then renaming it as #14Ol Tiger. I believe this photo was taken at the 1962 National Air Show in Chino, CA. |
