There was something about union of technological elitism, the glorification of youth, the impulse to speed and violence, the association with war and national competition which made aviation and fascism natural bedfellows. Not sure if that constellation still exists, but maybe in a different way?

So, are we “aviation lovers” in fact latent crypto-fascists? ;)

I once read an alt history with a Nazi plot to build a moonbase that would win the war by flinging boulders at the Earth (dead Nazi astronaut found on moon decades later). Crazy, given 1940s technology—but one can see the appeal to a certain kind of pubertal billionaire-to-be.
