Scrappy Finn Twins Win Court Battle Over Plane Ownership

George and Charles Finn, known as the Flying Finn Twins, win a federal ruling that they own a C46 war surplus transport plane seized after they flew it from Bakersfield to hide from authorities. Judge Mathes orders the return of the craft from Scotty's Airstrip to Scotty's, near Fallon, Nevada, or payment of $50,000 plus $15 a day rent if not returned. The case hinges on sale terms and wartime statutes protecting private enterprise and veterans' access to property.
