A visit to the National Air and Space Museum last week revealed a surprise. A copy of The Bakersfield Californian from Friday, February 16, 1945, is on display in the Naval Aviation exhibit. Another visitor standing next to me noticed I was proudly wearing a Bakersfield Condors shirt, and put the two together. We had a good laugh.
Millions of people see this display every year. You will find it on the second floor in the World War II section. Look for the room marked Naval Aviation. Go behind the display of the USS Enterprise, and there it is!
No matter what you think about our local paper, you can't help feeling even a little pride, seeing it displayed so prominently in a National museum.
