Gordon Page takes you on a harrowing adventure to the east and west
coasts of Russia in his hunt for rare World War II aircraft. Encountering
greed and bribery at every turn, Page risks his safety for a lifelong
dream.
I called Mike
minutes after I hung up with Peter and asked him if he would join me on an
adventure to Russia to acquire a
Messerschmitt 109. Once again, he laughed at me. I didn’t know anyone
who traveled as often as Mike or who had the expertise to recognize if I
was buying a Messerschmitt 109 or a pile of junk. I practically begged him
to join me, even bribing him by saying that we could come back through
London for an extra day and he should plan to meet up with a long-time
German friend of his who he had talked of often. Eventually, he began to
take interest. He agreed to join me—but only for the three days that I
had promised. I told him to prepare his passport and apply for a travel
visa to Russia. We would leave within the month. He would also need a
money belt. I had no desire to carry all of the cash for the purchase on
my own.
Before we hung up, he
asked me what my wife thought about a return trip to Russia.
I told him that I was just about to go buy a few dozen roses to improve
the odds of her approval but that his agreeing to go with me would go a
long way with her. At least I hoped it would.

Friends,
I am happy to
announce that my book, Warbird
Recovery- The Hunt for a Rare WWII Plane in Siberia, Russia, is
finally in print! This story is about the efforts to chase a childhood
dream to preserve history and what I faced in Russia to someday put a historic
plane back into the air. Both men and women will enjoy this easy read that
has a lot of very uneasy moments…
I want to thank
all of you for your support and patience as I have put this story together, and
a special thanks to all of you who helped proof read, provided testimonials and
gave suggestions. I think you will appreciate the wait on the book, and
hopefully you will fully understand what we have been through to preserve some
aviation history. Enjoy the book and please tell your friends about
the story and how they can buy a copy!
