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.

Beech 26 XAT-10A Wichita 42-2272 cn2815. Plywood construction. Sole example with V-tail. Built in1941. USAAF
When I was a kid, there were a pair of plywood jets from Australia garaged at Jeffco Airport here in Colorado. As kids, we marveled that they could fly and not burn up from the engine.
Prototype for the Beechcraft Bonanza, which I think came out in the late '40s?
ReplyDeleteWas this Beech's answer to Cessna's T-50?
