George Baker and the Biplane Engine
By Kim Bunker

Hi everybody,  Kim Bunker here with the real story as told by Bob
Saline, a good friend of George Baker.  Well, here we go.

George bought this WW1 biplane engine from this old guy who had it
hanging in his bedroom from the ceiling since he was a teenager.
George was going to rebuild it including the biplane from scratch;
we think he got the plans from the guy as well.

As projects always go, he never got to it.  Ha ha!  However, for years
it was in pieces in George's bedroom.  Then he finally donated it to an
airplane museum.  If you want to find out more I suggest you contact
Jerry Pell.

Thanks for now
Kim Bunker
