Poor selection of cover picture for a World War I exhibit! You have a modern Harrier, an earlier version of German Rocket V2 and a British Spitfire fighter! Every thing in that picture is post world war I!

May all the brave soldiers who fell and all the innocent people who died always rest in peace.
