| Doris Wright Kinback Weatherford, TX | You list first under the known serial numbers section a TH-13T 'Sioux' # 64-17845.
A little history of the TH-13T # 64-17845. Your museum will soon have available a book titled "TELL ME A WAR STORY" by GEORGE E KINBACK, JR., MAJOR US ARMY RET. The back cover of the book shows a picture of then Captain George E. Kinback, Jr., stationed at Fort Rucker, picking up the First TH-13T (Tail # 64-17845) from the Bell Helicopter Plant at Fort Worth, TX., January 7, 1965. George then flew the TH-13T to Shell Field, Fort Rucker, Alabama. A picture in the book also shows the helicopter being inspected after it arrived at Shell Field. My last promise to George before he passed away January 6, 2006 was that I would get his book published so that his war stories of life experiences over the years could be enjoyed. The book is also available on Amazon.com. It was print ready October 16, 2006. George enjoyed his time at Fort Rucker and we decided to donate a portion of the proceeds of the book to the Fort Rucker Aviation Museum. Blessings to all and "THANK YOU" for your service.
