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?

Insignia probably only applied at the odd angle on the test Snarks. Operational birds were a light gray color, and armed with a 4mT W39 warhead. One is displayed at AF Museum in Dayton.

ReplyDeleteWhy would the star and bar emblem be applied at an angle? Something is screwy.
