… Last All Piston Prop Aerial War. "Believe it or not, this was a bitter reality in 1969 as the 4-Days War broke out between Honduras and El Salvador, in which only vintage piston powered aircraft were involved that shot each other out of the air. During my visit to this Museum, I came also to see the C-47's that they had still operational in numbers, but entry to these planes was strictly forbidden, as if we came to spy for El Salvador a Hi Tech aircraft. Paranoia or not, the relations between the neighboring nations are still "awkward", to say the least…."

Those aircraft were classics on their way to being antiques! UNESCO should have intervened to save them! |

And the Corsairs won! I always liked that plane better than the sleeker P-51. The bent wings, that brute-force looking radial, and the pilot-killing reputation made the F4U my childhood favorite WW2 fighter. The P-51, on the other hand, looked to me like a gentleman's plane, not a brawler. Rob |
