PROVENANCE OF THIS ENGINE
My father inventory reveals he purchased this
engine in 1960 while we were stationed at an Air Force Base in Japan.
This engine appears very clean and in good condition (and my father was exceedingly fastidious concerning the aforementioned), as I am not credentialed to delineate any further details.
Background of Owner
This engine was part of my father's extensive model engine collection. Dad began building model airplanes in the 1930s in Everette, Washington; the Boeing Aircraft Plant was not too far from his boyhood home - on Rainier Street. Dad learned to fly by age fifteen, and was a Seaplane Pilot in his early teens as well.
Upon graduating from high school in May of 1941, Dad joined the Army Air Corps
- just ten days later at the age of seventeen.
After initial induction into the joint Army Air Corp Dad in Lackland, Texas Dad was ordered to Wichita Falls, Texas. There Dad taught hundreds if not thousands of men how to fly both the B-25 and B-29 Mitchell Bombers - part of the concurrent United States' mob-up and Lend/Lease agreement with England.
At the age twenty my father bought his first airplane and name it "Peer Gynt". His father, an accomplished musician. a Norwegian emigre, joined the US Army in 1915 to acquire US citizenship. Olaf Tbjoranson Ore'Hauggen thus found himself part of last expeditionary force of U.S. Cavalry; encamped with Pershing and Patton against Pancho Via, thereabouts Deming, New Mexico. Naturally my grandfather was ordered to France when America entered the Great War- on the heels of the sinking of the Lusitania in 1917 a result of a German U-Boat asset.
Ret. Lt. Colonel Hagen (33 years active, our sir name Anglicized) remained in Wichita Falls thereafter until the European Theater fell late April, early May of 1945.  Dad was subsequently ordered to the Pacific Theater (in country but two months) when Truman ordered the atomic bombings of Japan, of which resulted in the Emperor surrendering; as officially documented on the USS Missouri on September 8,1945. If you didn't know much too much American history
here's but a smattering.
It is my greatest hope, that whomever subsequently buys this engine, enjoys it as much as my late father Colonel Hagen, who was an avid a model airplane builder - nearly seventy years of his life.
