A UPF-7 Testimonial

A few years back I was visiting on the phone with my lifelong friend, Rod Marshall. Rod was a CPT instructor in the early 40s, flying UPF-7s. He then went on to teach "advanced" Air Corps training in the T-6. All in all, he accumulated thousands of hours of instruction time during WWII. After the war he owned a long series of aircraft both as an FBO and then for personal business and pleasure. He retired to Montana where, after years of retirement, he was elected to the Montana House of Representatives. We bade farewell to Rod in 2004, a great spirit, a good friend, and one of the best aviators I've ever known. Please read on.here's the testimonial:

On the phone I told Rod I might be ferrying a UPF-7 to Washington State , and could possibly stop in for a visit. The first thing he said was, "You know, I think the UPF-7 was the best flying airplane I flew in my entire life".

There was a photo of a UPF-7 prominently displayed at Rod's memorial service.
