Historic planes on parade over National Mall in WWII commemoration Dozens of vintage airplanes flew over Washington, DC to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory in Europe in World War II. The air show, dubbed “The Arsenal of Democracy,” featured trainers, fighters and bombers used by the Allies. Flying as low as 1000 ft (300 meters) above the National Mall, a total of 56 planes, comprising nineteen different types of aircraft, symbolically reenacted major WWII air campaigns in which the US participated, from Pearl Harbor to the atomic bombing of Japan. -- source link
