This Is Your FBI - The Skyway Swindle

Bill Renton, a U.S Army Air Corp pilot that successfully flew 30 missions over Tokyo during the war, was a hero to the people in his hometown of Fairview. The young veteran came home to banquets, speeches, and dinner parties, all given in his honor. Four weeks after his return, things were beginning to settle down to normal in Fairview. In a way, Bill was glad because he wanted to forget all about the war. However, his life on the ground began to get a little dull. One morning, Bill's telephone rang. He answered and heard a feminine voice say "Is this Bill Renton? He says "Yes". She says "The Bill Renton?" He says "That's right". She says "You don't know me, of course, but you knew my husband very well. He flew in your squadron, Jack Martin". Bill says "Jack Martin! I knew him very well! You say you're his...." She says "I'm his widow, Carole". Bill says "And you say you're right here in Fairview?" Carole says "I arrived this morning. I'm at the Central Hotel". Bill says "Well, I'd sure like to see you". Carole says "Well, I'd like to meet you too. Jack mentioned you so much in his letters". Bill says "Well, hold everything. I'll meet you in the lobby in ten minutes". At their meeting, Bill says "Well, I'm certainly glad you thought of calling me, Mrs. Martin". She says "The name is Carole". Bill says "Okay, and I'm Bill". Carole says "I guess you can understand how I like to meet and talk to anybody who flew with Jack". Bill says "Oh sure, Jack was a great guy". Carole says "He felt the same way about you". Bill says "Well, I.... Look, Carole, it's nearly 12:30. How about our having a bit of lunch together?" Carole says "Oh, I'd love to". Bill says "We could talk about how you happen to be here in Fairview". Carole says "Well, how I happened to be here may come walking into the lobby any minute now". Bill asks "Who's that?" Carole says "My Uncle George. I'm traveling around with him as sort of his secretary. He represents a group of men in the East who were planning to establish a chain of airports and flying schools over the country and they're putting one in Fairview. That's why he's here." Bill says "If there's going to be an airport and flying school in Fairview, I've certainly got to get in on it".
