That's why it's the era I'm most interested in when it comes to
aircraft. There were so many good looking and interesting
aircraft being flown or tested by airforces all over the world.
Plus I love the natural metal finish they had. The 30s may have
been the Golden Age of civil aviation but IMHO the 50s and early
60s were the Golden Age of military aviation. I think I'll go
watch "Towards The Unknown" again. :)
