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 tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The Warthog of its' day.

ReplyDeleteThe P-38 also used a 37mm cannon at times. Considering how large the bore is in this photo I’d say we’re looking at a 37mm.
