“…the rosebush that Major Cleven had planted almost two years before, now sprawling alongside the building. It had a rose on it this summer for the first time.”
—Jack Sheridan in his book, They Never Had It So Good: The Personal, Unofficial Story of the 350th Bombardment Squadron (H), 100th Bombardment Group (H) USAAF, 1942-1945
#he planted them for Bucky#/j for historical reasons but cmon it’s /srs#he planted the rose bush along side the 350th Orderly Room (pictured above)#the fact that the roses bush bloomed as the war was winding down and Cleven had made it back? sobbing#real mota#masters of the air#mota#gale buck cleven#Buck Cleven#gale cleven#Jack Sheridan#this is topical cause I wrote a fic based on it#they never had it so good by jack sheridan#they never had it so good#what I find especially beautiful is how the Thorpe Abbotts museum has rose beds in their memorial garden#if anyone has any pics of the orderly room please send them my way#I’ve spent hours trying to find pictures of this orderly house with at least bushes near it#and I will spent several more hours combing photo albums I promise#quotes#book

In October 1940, the Vought XF4U-1 Corsair prototype made history as the first single-engine U.S. fighter to fly faster than 400 mph. This F4U-1D, is on display at the Udvar-Hazy Center: s.si.edu/3Sfsx4E

A Sopwith Camel
This is RAF Museum in Hendon, one of the many brilliant museums in London. Whilst not centrally located, it is definitely worth a visit.

General Atomics Predator Drone at the Udvar-Hazey Center. The GA Predator has a top flying speed of 135 mph and was used by the CIA in multiple missions in Afghanistan, often armed with Hellfire Missiles. It was retired and replaced with the General Atomics Reaper drone. The first flight was in 1994 and was used from 1995-2018 by the US military. This one here was actually the FIRST predator drone to launch a hellfire missile operationally.

On the left is a Douglas B-26C Invader; this plane actually served in WWII as an A-26, but was re-designated the B-26 after WWII (even though there was already a Martin B-26 Marauder, because what's an Air Force without a little confusion once in a while?). I love the nose art.
