On a beautiful day last May, the airplanes were out at the Paul E. Garber Preservation, Restoration and Storage Facility in Suitland, Maryland. Normally, Garber's inventory of air and space artifacts is sealed in a cluster of windowless buildings, but on this day three flawless specimens—an Aichi Seiran floatplane, a Pitts Special biplane, and a Hawker Hurricane—had been rolled out onto a driveway that runs between the buildings. As the airplanes basked in the warm air, a crowd of more than 100 admirers stared appreciatively, many of them taking pictures like proud parents photographing their babies.
