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.

Biggest airplane of it’s time, “Maksim Gorky,” over Red Square, Moscow, 1934.
"It's" means "it is," which was the point of my snark. The first phrase translates "Biggest airplane of it is time..." which doesn't make sense, does it?
I think that's May Day,1935.
ReplyDeleteThere were smaller planes flying with it, and one of them collided with it, causing both to crash.
It is?
ReplyDeleteIt both cases, "It" is the Maksim Gorky.
DeleteThere were actually 3 planes with the Gorky.
One them was doing aerobatics -- and screwed the pooch.
