[Milsurplus] C-47 Aircraft Radio Restoration

[Todd, KA1KAQ]

Seriously doubt that. Airshow folks in general don't tend to be
terribly political in that way. Those types tend to avoid airshows and
other places that glorify 'the machines of war' and such. Trying to
assign some reasonable explanation to a nonsensical decision makes
about the same amount of sense as the original decision. From the
little I've read on the Civil War, there was plenty of mistreatment to
go around on both sides. War is indeed hell, as they say.
