I think it's disgraceful for Americans to participate in such a display.

They should at least be forced to paint a Star Of David on its tail to commemorate all the Jews they murdered during its production. And maybe a few symbols of the old Army air wing who suffered such losses to these Nazi planes.

You cannot honestly divorce the plane from those murdered to produce it and those Allied airmen it was used to kill.

Well, I admit it not something I'd celebrate.

As a celebration, does anyone celebrate the inventinve Japanese engineer who developed the wooden fins for their torpedoes.

Don't think they had time to paint the Star of David on them, but the Arabs being armed with Britains best, Israel got along with what planes they could scrounge up. The IAF's first air to air victory was an Egyptian Dakota transport, converted to a bomber, downed over Tel Aviv by an Israeli Messerschmitt.
