The flying was basically from Kunming China to and from Calcutta India. I was told. After WW 2 Bob and his brother Ray founded Rengo Brothers Oil Co. which handled Phillips 66 throughout West Michigan, and owned about 10 gas stations, and supplied same. They sold their gas station business in 1980 and developed and supplied a large number of Airports in West and northern Michigan. They sold the airport supply business about eight years ago.
