strange but true....
Mid way thru the war around early 1944, new types of the P-38 and P-51 were being tested at Muroc dry lake in California (today, Edwards Air Force Base). One of the new test pilots assigned to the group was captain Tony Vren of New York. A combat veteran with many sorties under his belt, and also a former engineering student at Columbia University before the war started. Being a thoroughly scientific man, Vren was well known for disliking stories about ghosts, foo fighters, UFOs, or anything else which didnt fit his clear cut view of the world and was viewed as a 'by the book' pilot who carefully followed procedure. On the flight that day, Capt Vren was to take his P38 up to 12000m to test some new air injection systems. Everything went fine and he climbed up to roughly 26000 feet without problems while checking the new systems, when he noticed a shadow over his wing for a split second. Turning to look, he saw what appeared to be a propellerless plane passing over head with great speed in excess of 800 kph (roughly 480 mph). No sooner than he had spotted the unusual plane with no apparent propeller than it dove again beside him of him to reveal a most unusual pilot. There, across from him not 50 meters was clearly a gorilla in a top hat, smoking a cigar. Terrified for his life, Vren pulled a hard half roll and dove for home. All the while, this strange gorilla pilot hung close to his tail and did barrel loops around him. Upon closing to base the strange plane suddenly left his field of view and Vren felt fortunate to land. Although, he was badly shaken, Vren immediately filed his post report and asked to see the base C.O. He explained his wild story of amazing speed, no propeller and gorilla to the incredulous commanding officer, only to be dismissed as having drunk too much the night before (despite the fact Vren was almost a teetotaler). The C.O. assigned him to see the base psychologist and the following week, Vren reported in and explained what he had seen before. Despite the doctor's belief that Vren in fact truly believed he was telling the truth, the doctor wrote off Vren as suffering from too much pressure change during the flight, and simple stress from too many flight hours, and gave him a mandatory two week leave to which Vren protested. It turns out after the war, that just north of Muroc, the Army Air Force had indeed been testing early jet aircraft passed from Great Britain. One of the early test pilots of these planes is purported to have been Jack Woolams, a man who loved to play practical jokes and had a propensity for top hats and fine cigars. It is alledged that he got tired of hearing about the superior flying skills of the P38 crowd and decided to put them in their place. Supposedly, not just Capt Vren, but three or four others all saw Woolams flying with his rented gorilla suit on, and decided from there on out, to shut the hell up about their superior planes and skills. Bobbysocks:..on a sad note after the war Jack Woolams was test flying a P39 getting it ready for the cleveland air race. he took the plane back to the factory due to a minor engine problem. on a shake down cruise after the work the plane suffered a sever malfunction and plummeted into lake ontario. neither he nor the ac were ever recovered.
