Our Story
The Planes of Fame (POF) conducts and records the interviews, completes all the required paperwork and submits them to the Library of Congress. Planes of Fame sends each veteran they interview a production book, (which includes a copy of the interview questions, signed documents and biographical information used in preparing for the interview) and a certificate of appreciation. The veteran and each member of his or her family also receives a copy of the interview on DVD.
In addition, copies of the interviews and productions books are kept at the Planes of Fame library. Interviews may also be presented in the Planes of Fame theater for guests to watch and enjoy.

My friends dad, Geoffrey Blackman, was the pilot of the PBY next to the one that spotted the Japanese fleet off of Midway. At my urging, he attended the Planes of Fame Air Show in 2013. I asked him which "Strawberry" designation was given his plane during Midway operations. He told me that the "Strawberry" call signs at Midway were made up for the movie! Sad to say that we lost Geoffrey a few years ago. I am pictured with Geoffrey and his daughter Marge.
The start of a great tribute to my father
Hi Dave! Will you be in the Vet's tent, filming again this year? Hope you are my friend. Will see you Saturday morning ✈️
