- DeKalb Stories Ep. 3: Wurlitzer and The Torpedo Drone
Directed by Jeffrey Chown, this episode of DeKalb Stories concerns the activities of the Wurltizer Company’s DeKalb plant during WWII. During the war, Wurlitzer was given a contract via the Interstate Aircraft Company to build the TDR-1.
My father owned and ran the American Aviation company which also made the TDR 1 in Jamestown New York.I never knew about the other companies that were involved. It was all secret. I did learn to fly from the test pilot. not the tdr 1 but another plane. It is wonderful to finally get the full history.
I am sitting at breakfast with Ken Johann and he was telling me a story so we went online and found this website. He served as a cook second class petty officer.
He is 92 years old and wanted to reach out to anybody alive. Oct 25, 2015. If I get a response I will get a hold of him. Thanks. 702 544 2824. Alan Tipton
