They must not know what the butt stock is for. They are bracing them against their ear. Must be all Dems. I'm not even going to comment about what they are pointing at.

Curtiss Electric made some stout propellers!  Holy crap!!

Just an observation:

I have to assume that the pilot was hit by ground fire when he was diving or climbing out from a ground attack mode.

Just looking at the uniformity of the peeling back of the Prop skin, shows that the shell that hit it was going so fast relative to the rotation velocity of the propeller, it was as if the propeller was standing still.  No indication  of any angular velocity component in the damage to the prop.  It appears symmetrical.  Amazing!
