Willie and Rosco helped many independent blues artists gain recognition. They received numerous requests to play their records on the radio. They stored records in Rosco’s old shed for sale and traveled from county to county, promoting and performing shows. They even owned their own airplane, which had "Blues 57” written on it.
After some time, their airplane was spotted by someone. A man named Freddie approached Willie and Rosco, asking them to construct planes for him. He had purchased an old building with plans to convert it into an aircraft factory. Although other workers were present, Willie and Rosco took charge due to their superior knowledge and expertise. The airplanes they built were unmatched, far outclassing any others in the world. They showcased their creations at air shows, attracting many spectators eager to see the remarkable planes.
As Willie and Rosco’s success grew, they became targets. A man from Russia sought to provoke conflict with them. One day, while testing their planes, the Russian man attempted to challenge them in the sky, launching missiles in their direction.
Willie yelled: Hey! What’s happening! Who’s that shooting at us! Rosco: Man I don’t know! But he’s got to go!
