Being pushed along, it doesn't look like much. It will suffer the further indignity of being shipped by moving van all across the country. But then it will emerge winged and proud and ready for glory in Hollywood. It's one of eight World War I Bristol F2B British fighter planes built at the Ann Arbor airport by Ypsilantian Vern Ohmert (right) for the movie "High Road to China." Six of the eight planes fly, the other two don't and will appear as wrecked dogfight victims. Ohmert will do much of the flying himself.
