Mr. Dobbs told me quite a bit about Fogia, and the close friends he served with in Italy, and the close friendship with Fiorello LaGuardia which lasted until this Gentleman passed on. You probably don't remember when the newspapers in NYC went on strike, and LaGuardia read the funny papers on the radio to the children of the City! Your Grandfather enjoyed listening to his Commander reading the funnies!
When they were restoring the Caproni at the Wright Patterson Museum, Mr. Dobbs said he would never get within a 100 yards of this airplane, as he had too many memories of the cold, and the 500 gallon gas tank that he had for a back rest! I also asked him about the instruments, and he said that they should have used a tom cat for visual reference! They used a pocket altimeter, a fuel gauge, a dip stick to check the engine oil in flight, and I am not certain whether they had a pocket compass, or a heading indicator.
They flew at night, crossing the Alps to avoid the German aircraft, and landings in Fogia were made in the dark without the benefit of any lighting, as they did not want the enemy aircraft to follow the Capronies! The field was surrounded by olive trees, and quite a terrible obstruction to have close to an air field!
These pilots use to have a reunion in Washington every year, until they became so old they could not travel. I remember many stories that Mr. Dobbs told me over a few beers at the farm, and the names mentioned in your e-mail I recall from his conversations. John Younger
