If Gene Fuchs of Morgan had been born at a later date, he most likely would have been a World War II fighter pilot. Fuchs is not a big man in stature, but he's always been big on flying. A military flight instructor Fuchs knew once told him he would have been the perfect fit in a military cockpit.
Gene Fuchs, now nearing 90, has logged over 10,000 hours in the air since he first started flying at age 15.
