And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I was in Reno earlier in the week and the executive staff at Reno-Stead Airport (site of the annual Reno Air Races) promised me a VIP seat in their pavilion, center runway. I think that they were impressed when they first met me and asked if I'd ever seen the races. My response was that I'd rather do that than watch the Super Bowl from the field on the winning team's side. COME ON SEPTEMBER!
I didn't know they were able to do this. By the way, we are in the middle of listening to A Higher Call. Excellent. Out of the 28,000 German pilots in WWII, only 1,200 survived the war.
Most likely the airplane is performing a loop or an immelman and the photographer snapped the picture as he went through the verticle. Even WWI fighters were able to perform those maneuvers, in fact the immelman was named for Max Immelman, the German Ace. who invented the maneuver in WWI.
Yes, and the German pilot in the book who spared the American bomber and who fought courageously throughout the whole war was blamed for not stopping the bombings and had a difficult time obtaining even the most basic job after the war.
THAT is a beautiful picture!

Climbing? Or falling tail first? Hard to tell without the white scarf out in the wind.
