Ok, I am currently stationed at the Naval War College in Newport, RI and they are gearing up for the annual commemoration of the Battle of Midway. So, they are setting up a bunch of displays around the college with WWII photos and other memorabilia....etc.
Now for the pathetic part: in addition to a couple of old photos of warbirds, they have a bunch of close-up screenshots of planes from Microsoft's Combat Flightsim 2. Apparently instead of trying to come up with some nice photos of WWII Navy planes they took pictures from a computer game and blew them up to about 3' x 4' and mounted them on foam board and mixed them up with the real photos. I mean WTF???? They couldn't find some decent real shots????
Do they do this kind of lame crap at Maxwell????
