North American Aviation
Various Artists It's difficult to believe that some 70 years ago, every magazine in America ran ads like these, with the enemy under deadly US fire, erupting in flames, sinking into the Pacific. There was no such thing as Political Correctness and if anyone tried such nonsense, they'd get a bloodied nose, a kick in the pants, and an earful of what makes America great. Peace activists? There were a few, but for the most part, you can see what was thought of "talk of peace." North American's aircraft built three justly famous flying machines durint the 1940s: the P-51 Mustang, arguably the best fighter of the war. The B-25 medium bomber, a versatile heavy hitter that, in one variation, sported a 75mm gun, just like the Sherman Tank's. The AT-6 Texas trainer, the plane that gave thousands of airmen the experience they needed to bring the fight to the enemy anywhere, anytime. |
