Princeton lpcation in rare film?
I heard there was a documentary done on Shelby while he
was still at Princeton. It was called Interview with the Snake but someone may have used that title on a later documentary that isn't the same one.
This would have been filmed prior to the airport move.
I went to the Airport plant in '65 but blame it on my youth--all I remember is the tanned, long legged blonde secretary!
One interesting thing about the airport location is that Shelby kept a DC-3 there to make the airport folks think he used an airplane often but eventually they caught on and refused to renew the lease.
Another time a guy next door to Shelby's hanger flew a contraption overhead (over the Shelbys) called the Flying Platform and maybe the airport guys thought Shelby was involved. It was jet powered and one man controlled and was dangerous as hell. Some Shelby employees still believe Shelby was developing it for NASA but I don't think jets work on the moon, but what do I know?
