Calamity Jane is best known nowadays for her claim that she was an acquaintance of & secretly married to Wild Bill Hickok (1837-1876), although almost all historians doubt the veracity of her claim to be the wife of Bill Hickok. Calamity Jane was buried at Mount Moriah Cemetery, South Dakota, in a grave adjacent to Wild Bill’s grave. Four of the men who planned her funeral, Albert Malter, Frank Ankeney, Jim Carson, & Anson Higby later stated that Wild Bill Hickok had “absolutely no use” for Jane while he was alive, so they decided to play a posthumous joke on him by giving Calamity an eternal resting place by his side. The left-hand photograph left depicts Calamity Jane in her typical attire -- dressed as a man. The right-hand photograph depicts Martha Jane Canary as she was seldom seen in life -- dressed in what she called “the costume of my sex.” |

D-Day veteran Jack Womer is standing at the same door in Angoville-au-Plain/Normandy where he sat shortly after D-Day in 1944! Throughout his service in the 101st Airborne Division, Womer was assigned to the Demolitions Platoon of the 506th PIR Regimental Headquarters Company in the section known officially as the First Demolitions Section and nicknamed the Filthy Thirteen. Known for his astuteness in battle, which he attributed to his rigorous training by British Commandos while in the 29th Ranger Battalion, Womer was never injured in combat. Womer was among the members of the Filthy Thirteen who parachuted into Normandy, France, on 6 June 1944 as part of the Normandy Invasion (Operation Overlord). He was the only one that remained in the Filthy Thirteen and participated in Operation Market-Garden in September 1944, the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, and the advance on Berchtesgaden, Germany, in 1945. At the time of his death on December 28, 2013, Womer was the last living member of the original Filthy Thirteen. |

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1652101913.jpg Hidden in a woodland valley and surrounded on three sides by the Elzbach River, Burg Eltz is one of Germany's most picturesque strongholds. Construction on the 120-room castle began in the 12th century and continued until the mid-1500s. Since then, it has looked much the same as it always has both outside and within — including the medieval kitchen, an armory, and several bedrooms that still have their original 16th-century paint and furniture. And it has remained in the same family for 33 generations since it was built over 850 years ago. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1652101913.jpg Well, the dry wall, isn't. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1652101913.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1652101913.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1652101913.jpg Happy Monday! |

The "article" was described as very stable and extremely responsive. During development at Skunk Works, one of the biggest difficulties facing the engineers, was the necessity of using titanium for the skin of the A-12. Titanium Metals Corporation, had very limited reserves of the precious alloy, so the CIA conducted a worldwide search using third parties and dummy companies, and finally managed to purchase the base metal from one of the world's leading exporters, whom would also happen to be the least supportive of the project...had they known. That country was none other than the Soviet Union. |

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1652151154.jpg The Alraigo Incident occurred on 6th June 1983, when a lost British Royal Navy Sea Harrier fighter aircraft landed on the deck of a Spanish container ship. Its pilot, Sub-lieutenant Ian Watson, was a junior Royal Navy Pilot undertaking his first NATO exercise from HMS Illustrious, which was operating off the coast of Portugal. Watson was launched in a pair of aircraft tasked with locating a French aircraft carrier under combat conditions including radio silence and radar switched off. After completing the search, Watson attempted to return to the Illustrious but was unable to locate it. Running low on fuel, and with his radio stopped working, Watson headed towards a nearby shipping lane, where he made visual contact with the container ship Alraigo. He initially planned to eject in sight of the vessel but noticed that its cargo provided a flat landing surface. The ship was carrying a base plate for a telescope being delivered to the 𝗜𝘀𝗮𝗮𝗰 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲 in the Canary Islands. Four days later, the Alraigo arrived at Santa Cruz de Tenerife with the Sea Harrier still perched on its container. The event received widespread media coverage.
