Submitter said “my Dad said several P-39s had to land in Cambridge and spend some time there. This one had engine trouble. A lot of fighters were landed there by WASPS during the war for fuel. My dad flew out of Cambridge in the late 30’s and 40’s, and when I was a kid (very small). I took rides with some of the old timers there.”
