    This article is from the 1958 Journal Gazette in Ft. Wayne, Indiana when Tom won his 1st National Air Race title w/ his Cassutt 111 Racer. Tom never bragged nor even told us grandkids about his wins & accolades racing so this is my 1st time to ever see this content. It's really amazing; super proud
