“Praises” Hitler for Airplane Aid

Frank Tichenor of New York, publisher of Aero Digest, nominated Adolf Hitler today to receive the Collier trophy for the “greatest aviation achievement in America: in 1938. “by threatening to dominate Europe,” Mr. Tichenor told the trophy nominating committee, “ and bringing the pressure of his air power to bear on Great Britain and France during the Munich crises, Hitler did more last year than any other man to make this nation conscious of the necessity of an adequate air defense establishment.”


Somehow this made me think that someone should nominate Zero at the NRA convention for encouraging people to buy guns and ammo.

Good parallel. I didn't catch the irony in that filler when I posted it. I wonder if the folks at the NRA are capable of that kind of wit.
