American bombers used against Americans, as I recall

"orders from the famous General Billy Mitchell, Army bombers from Maryland were also used for aerial surveillance, an early example of air power being used by the federal government against US citizens. One Martin bomber crashed on the return flight, killing the three members of the crew."

I grew up near that area in the 50's and there was still a hell of lot of anger left.
