Based in Minnesota, the company specializes in flight-worthy restorations of Second World War aircraft. As AirCorps wraps up the painstaking restoration of the fighter they are now on a quest to find the original Eva and Edith. Eva and Edith, most likely, stood next to each other on an assembly line for the Curtiss-Wright Company. As part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s stated plan to build an “Arsenal of Democracy” for the world, the U.S. ultimately trounced the war production of any other Second World War combatant. The “Edith and Eva” portion of the P-47D-23RA wing will likely not make its way into the finished aircraft.
