The rewriting of history is nothing new, it would be interesting how future generations learn about us today, are we really the evil capitalistic society some make us out to be, are we the colonialist country that we fought the Revolutionary War to be rid of. Only time will tell and the people with pen in hand will decide how good we are or how evil we are
History is often revised, "corrected", and sanitized to make it palatable to the masses. I think this is a terrible mistake and injustice to the masses. In altering history, the lessons of history are lost. Those lessons point out the mistakes that were made. Those who do not know (real) history are doomed to repeat history's mistakes.

One wonders how the Rape of Nanking would have been portrayed.......
Pearl Harbor must have been a training exercise that went terribly wrong, so sollly

I was happy when they finally, at least, displayed the forward half of the plane in the mid-90's. I went to see it. :salute:
Someday I need to head back and see her put back altogether.
They ought to give it to the CAF, at least their visitors (for the most part) understand real history.
Is the CAF the same as the old "Ghost Squadron" Still have the book by them the HIstory of the Ghost Squadron. I believe they were down in Texas

Thanks I thought that might have been the case. Great group of people and wish them well. Next trip south I will try to look them up. Would love to see their aircraft. Oh yes, being a non- pc type Confederate air force was not derogatory to this northerener.

Take the time to read the whole article. It's an interesting documentation of how "revisionists" attempt to alter perceptions of events based not on what happened then, but rather on what is happening now.
The role of the Smithsonian is to present information, not push a particular interpretation of events. I'm proud to see that in this case the attempt to influence the display was foiled by folks who were actually a part of the event.
Basic Flying Rules: "Try to stay in the middle of the air. Do not go near the edges of it. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there."
I read the entire article before finding this shorthend version from the magazine. This was shorter and not quite as detailed but all the facts are present here. I had a lot of respect for the Smithsonian before reading it but now not so sure.
