[Ed. note: Yesterday I was gushing enthusiastically about the futuristic concept of human spaceflight. Today I’m going to wax nostalgic about ancient airplanes. Hey, it’s these little contradictions and paradoxes that make people interesting, right?]
Among my assorted interests, enthusiasms and oddities is a love of old propeller-driven airplanes, especially the “warbirds,” the combat aircraft of World War II. People who are familiar at all with that term usually think of the fighter planes of the era, but in my usual non-conformist fashion, I prefer the bombers.
