KeeBird.net - The Last Flight of the KeeBird

Burl Cowan (Kee Bird Navigator) had compiled a map charting the Kee Bird's missions.

Russell Jordan (Kee Bird Copilot) sent a copy of this map to Howard Adams (Kee Bird Radar Observer) in the late 1990's.
Following is a copy of Russell's personal note to Howard, and images of Burl Cowan's highly acclaimed map.

A hand-written note from Russell Jordan to Howard Adams regarding the map that Burl Cowan had composed during their missions.
The note says:
Hi Howard:
    Copy of a map Cowan kept of our missions.
Hope you enjoy it.
    Looking back, I think what we did was a great value to our Country and to future navigation.
    Too bad this was never told what a great risk we took.
    Regards to you & yours,
    Russ
