I’m guessing that most of us have encountered times when people speak un-truths and/or myths about history.
Some lasting WWII examples: The US Air Corps in WWII; the Flying Fortress was named due to its defensive firepower; the Flying Tigers were fighting the Japanese before Pearl Harbor; etc.
I have, as I learn the truths, on many occasions corrected people and this is often not well received. I was ask to leave the March AFB Museum once because I corrected a volunteer guide - at a P-59 exhibit - when he told the kids of a school class (one was my son) that the Airacomet was entirely the result of German Technology US forces had captured during the war.
Am I just an A-hole and should keep quiet? Or should I continue to try to “educate the masses”?
