Heritage flight
A B-17 Flying Fortress (top of frame), a P-40 Kittyhawk and a P-51 Mustang soar over the spires of the Air Force Memorial April 10 in Arlington, Va. The three World War II-era planes flew over a ceremony honoring the 30,000 American Airmen who gave their lives flying from British bases during World War II. The event was arranged by the American Air Museum at Duxford, England, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary. The first Americans to serve in England were based at Duxford in 1918. During World War II it was also home to the 78th Fighter Group from 1943 to 1945. Former British Prime Minister John Major served as guest of honor for the ceremony.
