An elderly couple is observing a historical aircraft displayed in a museum. The aircraft is a World War II-era fighter plane with distinct markings, including a white nose, yellow underbelly, and camouflage paint. Behind the aircraft, there is an engine on display, and information plaques are placed in front of the plane for visitors to read. — Give Monthly
