Mystery Piet from Alexandra, Minnesota

Post by Pat Weeden »

Hi All,

We received the note below at BPA headquarters. Can anybody help?
The Pasche family is looking for information in regards to a Model A Ford powered Pietenpol built in the late 1930's. I used to play in it as child. We have a picture of it with Dad standing by it dated 1941.

The bird was stored in the family hay Barn during WWII. It was stored with the wing removed for about 20 years. The Family story is that Fred A. Pasche traded a Colt Revolver for it. The bird went to Alexandra Minnesota about 1961. It may have then restored and went West Coast.

Any information on it whereabouts would be helpful. It was Red with a Silver Wing!

Best Regards,
Richard R. Pasche

Do you know who it went to in Alexandria? Where did it come from before it went to Alexandria? Any idea who would have rebuilt it? I've got a friend who lives there and is very active in the aviation community, but unfortunately that's not enough info to do anything with for him.
