Honoring America's World War II Air Forces on V-E Day

Today, the capital witnessed a once-in-a-lifetime display of dozens of America's most famous WWII warplanes. In honor of the 70th anniversary of V-E Day, the skies over the National Mall were filled with amazing aircraft like the P-38, F4U, B-17, and B-29 for the "Arsenal of Democracy: World War II Victory Capitol Flyover." Thousands turned out to watch, and I sat just in front of the U.S. Capitol, cheering like everyone else. It felt like being a part of the history which is so much still in our national consciousness. I write about it in more depth over at National Review.
