The first time I read the name of Glenn was on the Ukrainian Unicraft site (now at http://www.unicraftmodels.com/ ), asymmetric-planes page (now located at http://www.geocities.com/asymmetrics/ ) what-if sub-page (this was the first time I read this expression "what-if"...). As author of the amazing P-38X (and 3 other incredible ones, while not twin-tail).

Then Igor sent me a picture of Glenn's double Bv 141, knowing I would be tremendously interested, and I asked "which is the name of this great twin-boomer? I would need it for my forthcoming book (The End of Forked Ghosts)". I got Glenn's E-mail and the nice answer was Bv141Z.

The Twin Yak-15 was maybe the last step before Glenn succeeded in joining our group.

You know what came next: Glenn is one of the very best among us, enjoying us with so many marvels, skilfully Photoshoped as "in the sky". I am not jealous, I am happy. And I am proud to have directed such a genius among us, sharing my joy with other friends.
