Historic cars can be seen on the grounds of the Bridgehampton Museum’s Nathaniel Rogers House from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday in a show called “Fast Company.” Aside from the full-size cars, you can check out slot car races on a custom track designed to match the old raceway at the Bridge. 

There will be continual screenings of “Glory Days at Bridgehampton,” and at 4 p.m. a question-and-answer period with Peter Klebnikov of the Bridgehampton Racing Heritage Group and two racers from the 1960s, Bobby Brown and Herb Wetanson, will complete the day.

A Bonac Airman Behind Enemy Lines

Staff Sgt. Harold Chapman was at the helm of a rapidly descending B-17 Flying Fortress. He was not a pilot. In fact, Chappie, as he was known, had just watched the pilot jump from the plane, his parachute failing to open. Hoping to avoid the pilot’s fate, Chappie was attempting to land the plane himself, according to his son, Rick Chapman of East Hampton. He was the last man aboard.
