Calliope on TV "Black Sheep Squadron"
By Bill Flynt

Concerning the cameo appearance of a Tangley replica calliope on TV's
"Black Sheep Squadron": I guess I didn't make myself very clear.  I'm
never surprised at historical inaccuracies in the movies, but I was
really wondering where the Tangley came from during filming.  Whose
was it, is it still around, who built it?  Trivia like that.

It appeared again in the same "location" on today's episode on the
History Channel, and I noted that the pipes (whistles) were made of
wood (i.e., old organ pipes), and they were arranged in the usual
scheme for pipe organs: small pipes nearest the keyboard, allegedly
for ease of tuning.  Does anyone know about this instrument?
