Hilarious. This is the kind of guy you want at cocktail parties. To wit:
“At Art Lacy’s birthday party in 1947, he bet a friend five dollars that he was going to put a B-17 Flying Fortress WWII surplus bomber on top of his gasoline station. In a larger-than-life move, Lacy, who had never flown a B-17 before bought one in Oklahoma for thirteen-thousand dollars, and crash landed as a result of a landing gear failure while learning to fly it alone with a manakin as his copilot. After buying a second one and with the help of friends and a case of whiskey for bribes he was finally able to fly it back home to Portland, Oregon.”

I heard he died due to massive overload of brass in his testicular regions

That’s awesome! Also, the ability to just go out and buy what at that point was a fairly recent bomber is also pretty awesome!
