[BCMA] CMA Clipping Service: July 31

Tue Jul 31 17:06:09 PDT 2012

The original article's author was mistaken. The WWII Harvard was not a "jet." I can say this with absolute certainty as I flew one (for about 15 minutes.) 

It shows that museums cannot control what the media write. In this case a handout fact sheet could have helped to avoid such an error.
