Ce N'est Pas Un Jet
RECEIVED Fri., April 30, 2021
Dear Editor,
Ali Montag's report on the war memorial mini golf [“In Buda, Mini-Golf and War Memorial Are Ingeniously Paired,” Naked City, April 30] contains a few factual errors about WWII airplanes. The North American P51 Mustang was a single engine piston propeller airplane, not a jet! Even the picture of the replica airplane Lt. Col. Hule Lamb Jr. is sitting next to clearly shows the propeller. Also there were very few 1940s fighter jets, the US didn't have an operational jet fighter in WWII, although the German Me 262 was one.
