when the US started getting rid of the surplus aircraft in the Air force after WWII, my ex girlfriends Uncle J.K. (J.K. Havener, if the name rings a bell) was sitting in a theater one afternoon after his tour, and they showed a Marauder getting blown up, of all the planes they had to blow up, it was his, they even zoomed in on the nose art.

He was dragged out of the theater screaming every profanity at the top of his lungs as loud as he could.

I look at pictures like these and I could only imagine his pain.
