David Tallichet Jr.
Enter David Tallichet Jr, a World War II veteran and Dallas-born entrepreneur. In addition to building dozens of aviation-themed restaurants, Tallichet had a side business of collecting and restoring military aircraft.
In fact, at one point, he owned over 120 planes, including a B-25 Mitchell bomber and a P-40 Tomahawk. Coincidentally, in his military career, Tallichet had flown as a co-pilot in the same type of four-engine bomber as the one discovered in Papua New Guinea.
