Federal Tax ID # 31-1627202 Dear Friends, Neighbors and Aviation Enthusiasts; My name is Bill Bradshaw, I am an Airline Transport Pilot and the President and founder of Prop-Liners of America, Inc. Prop-Liners of America is a volunteer, nonprofit,501 (c) 3 organization incorporated under Connecticut laws as a non stock, non-profit corporation to promote the restoration, exhibition and flying display of propeller driven airliners at air shows and open houses throughout our local area as well as the continental United States. Prop-Liners is in support of a project exploring the early days of commercial air travel, specializing in the restoration and exhibition of propeller driven airliners. Prop-Liners needs to reach out to our local communities and those throughout the continental United States and provided them with the opportunity to revisit the past through the development of the Prop-Liners Educational Research Center. We are writing today to make a request. With the addition of new aircraft to our organization and as normal wear and tear take its toll, we find ourselves in need of purchasing new, and replacing old equipment. Our equipment needs range from things as simple as fuel, oil and tires to more essential items such as propeller and engine overhauls. The cost of such equipment adds up very quickly. We hope that you will be in a position to send in a Donation, which is tax deductible, to help defray the cost of these purchases. Any denomination would be very helpful and greatly appreciated. Your Donation is TAX DEDUCTABLE and you will receive a Certificate of Participation and a Membership in our Organization for your Donation as well as a place on our Honor Roll in our Museum @ Brainard Airport in Hartford, CT. Thank you very much for spending your valuable time to read this letter. Sincerely, William
E. Bradshaw Douglas...Lockheed...Convair...Martin In the years directly after World War II, those names, and others, were instrumental in developing the air transportation system of the United States and making it what it is today. In the late 1940's and early 1950's, air travel was a special occasion. Business and leisure travelers alike wore their best suits and dresses and those children who were lucky enough to fly were certain to wear their " Sunday best". The airliners of those days all had something in common: they had propellers and they were fun to fly in. We, at Prop-Liners of America are bringing this "Grand Age" of air travel back so the youth of this generation and future generations can experienxe the sights and sounds of the amazing industry which helped to shape this country. We need help. We are asking for Donations of all types, monetary, airline memorabilia, and or memberships. Not only will your generous contribution help to keep our aircraft flying and our museum and research facilities functioning, you will be helping to preserve a wonderful part of the American air transportation legacy. Sometime soon, thanks to your help, a propeller-driven airliner will be flying over your town or visiting an airshow near your city. Stop and watch it fly over. Point it out to a child. Be proud because you gave it wings! Sincerely, Dick Whiting
