FLYING FORTRESSTom Cummins – Guitar, Vocals, Songwriter Aaron Levin – Drums, Vocals Kevin Marks - Bass Dan Southard – Rhythm Guitar The Flying Fortress era marks the shortest period ever in the life of Clear Frontier. It ended between 2 and 8 months after it began, depending on how you look at it. Kevin quit after 2 months, but it was another six months of trying out various other bassists before Tom and Aaron convinced (forced) me to put down my guitar and play bass, which is, in my mind at least, when Flying Fortress ended and Cockpit began. Looking back, I can hardly even remember Kevin practicing with us; I do, however, remember him singing 'Sister Christian"...Anyway, I think the only lasting thing to come from Flying Fortress was my settling into the role of bassist. A somewhat less than interesting aside is that Kevin and I each started off using the same bass, my dad's old Kalamazoo: Oh, and here's the obligatory yearbook pic of Kevin:

I recall Kevin doing a lot of standing around with the bass strung over his shoulder and a lit cigarette in his mouth. Only Captain Nemo himself will be able to shed some additional light on the hazy history of Flying Fortress
