The hosts of Meet Me at the Wall return for season two, thank listener Billy in their first call-in interview, and discuss plans to blend dramatized sketches with original letters as the story moves into the 1930s and 1940s. Anne shares a new sketch set in 1931 about Florence and Ben being invited to fly with barnstorming aviators Hugh Herndon and Clyde Pangborn, then a 1944 postscript about their son Dick's growing flying obsession. The hosts read Dick's August 1944 letter describing soloing, tailspins, rough landings, and passing his driver's test, and Anne connects it to her blog reflections. Betsy adds background on Herndon and Pangborn's trans-Pacific record and Japan arrest.
