Default TO THE GROUP.... Wherever you are

IS IT JUST ME...

Am I the only one that remembered that yesterday was a day that was
supposed to have a special significance.

A day that would live in infimy.

Considering this group is dominated by Yanks from Yankyville, I would
have thought that one of them would have posted a picture of a Zero,
or a Zeke, or a Betty.... whether it was a bouncing Betty or not.

Where was one of those postings of Ford island in all its glory.

P-40s and PBYs burning on the ground.

Ships sinking in the harbour.

The Arizona at it's finest.

Just the other month I posted a message about some anniversary to do
with the mighty spitfire.

Do you think that even one person posted a shot of a spit.

You know they didn't.

And that wasn't the first time I noticed special days seem to go by
with nary a nod of recognition or a posting or rememberance.

So why was I not surprised when yesterday.... the day that was supposed
to live in infimay received not even a posting of recollection from the
main and only group on the web that is devoted to the posting of
pictures of airplanes from different historical periods.

Now I'm not chastising or trying to act snooty.

I'm only pointing out that a very special day in history just slipped by
without so much as a note of acknowledgement let alone a single picture.

Now if it's any consolation or even slight interest to the group,
on that same day CANADA declared war on Finland, Hungary, and Romania.

Only in Canada.. Eh!!!!!
