A woman is photographed by police after being arrested for serving alcohol illegally from her "bootlegger's life preserver”, 1924. (Prohibition Era, US). More photos from the Prohibition period: https://bit.ly/3ObqNFI


This is the cockpit of the first aircraft to make a solo non-stop transatlantic flight, the Spirit of Saint Louis. Note the periscope in lieu of a forward window.

The aircraft is the custom-built, single-engine, single-seat, high-wing monoplane that was flown by Charles Lindbergh on May 20–21, 1927, on the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight from Long Island, New York, to Paris, France, for which Lindbergh won the $25,000 Orteig Prize.

Lindbergh took off about 5 miles from where I am sitting now...Either Mitchell Field, or Roosevelt Field just west of Merrick Ave... If you ever find yourself on Long Island, The Cradle of Aviation is a must see... along with The American Airpower Museum at Republic Airport.. Where Republic late Fairchild/Republic built planes.. Grumman is a few miles east, where they built the F14..

Sitting Bull was the first man to become chief of the entire Lakota Sioux nation.
Sitting Bull was born around 1831 into the Hunkpapa people, a Lakota Sioux tribe that roamed the Great Plains in what is now the Dakotas. He was initially called “Jumping Badger” by his family, but earned the boyhood nickname “Slow” for his quiet and deliberate demeanor. The future chief killed his first buffalo when he was just 10 years old. At 14, he joined a Hunkpapa raiding party and distinguished himself by knocking a Crow warrior from his horse with a tomahawk. In celebration of the boy’s bravery, his father relinquished his own name and transferred it to his son. From then on, Slow became known as Tatanka-Iyotanka, or “Sitting Bull.”
Sitting Bull was renowned for his skill in close quarters fighting and collected several red feathers representing wounds sustained in battle. As word of his exploits spread, his fellow warriors took to yelling, “Sitting Bull, I am he!” to intimidate their enemies during combat. The most stunning display of his courage came in 1872, when the Sioux clashed with the U.S. Army during a campaign to block construction of the Northern Pacific Railroad. As a symbol of his contempt for the soldiers, the middle-aged chief strolled out into the open and took a seat in front of their lines. Inviting several others to join him, he proceeded to have a long, leisurely smoke from his tobacco pipe, all the while ignoring the hail of bullets whizzing by his head. Upon finishing his pipe, Siting Bull carefully cleaned it and then walked off, still seemingly oblivious to the gunfire around him. His nephew White Bull would later call the act of defiance “the bravest deed possible.

If you want to see an amazing accurate replica of Linberg's plane actually fly, you should head to the Rhinebeck Aerodrome in upstate NY (about 1.5 hours from NYC). They also have the largest collection of old airplanes and airplanes that still fly in the US. Pretty incredible stuff.
