The left wing of this aircraft was subsequently removed intact and then placed in the Isoroku Yamamoto Family Museum in Nagaoka, Japan because of scavenging from the crash site.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“Stevenson had noble ideas—as did the young Franklin for that matter. But Stevenson felt that the way to implement them was to present himself as a thoughtful idealist and wait for the world to flock to him. He considered it below him, or wrong, to scramble out among the people and ask them what they wanted. Roosevelt grappled voters to him. Stevenson shied off from them. Some thought him too pure to desire power, though he showed ambition when it mattered.”
—Garry Wills, U.S. historian. Certain Trumpets: The Call of Leaders, ch. 9, Simon & Schuster (1994)
“Simonides. And she is fair too, is she not?
Pericles. As a fair day in summer, wondrous fair.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
