MB you make some good points.
However, it is VERY IMPORTANT to point out that you will not find a more patriotic group than Quiet Birdmen (QB's).
Yes, there was an anti-war movement around that time, but there is no relationship to this movement and the QB's.
IMHO I still believe that if Lindbergh received a more generous applause, it was because he was a Charter Member of the QB's, i.e. one of our own.
