    "Soviet Soldiers pose for a ‘victory’ photograph outside the Reichstag, 1945. In the centre of the photograph is the ‘Son of the Regiment’. Typically they were orphans of war, and adopted by Soviet units. They acted as a mascot, but would also perform combat duties too."

    Son of a what?

    "Junkers Ju 86K-4 (B-3) Werknummer 0860412 at the Swedish Air Force Museum near Linköping. Built in Germany and delivered to Sweden in 1938, it was converted from a bomber to a transport in the 1950s before being retired. It is the last Ju 86 left. Was in the 1955 German film The Devil's General."

    The USS Houston participated in an attack of a Japanese base on Formosa on 12 Oct 1944. Two days later, the USS Houston took a direct hit to her starboard side by a torpedo from a Japanese torpedo plane. She lost all propulsion and steering, and so was put under tow to the Naval base in Ulithi. On 16 Oct 1944, another Japanese aerial torpedo struck her stern while she was under tow:

    Thanks to calm seas and the heroic efforts of her damage control parties, she did not end up at the bottom of the Pacific. This picture shows the precarious situation of the USS Houston after the second torpedo hit:

    On 4 Nov 1944, while repairs were underway in Ulithi, the bodies of 30 sailors were recovered from spaces which were flooded in the initial torpedo attack. Their remains were buried in a cemetery on ASOR Island.

    "Boeing-Stearman PT-13 Kaydet at the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino, CA. The aircraft behind the right set of wings is a 1929 Curtiss Robin, which was flown by Douglas "Wrong-Way" Corrigan, who had lost his way on a flight from NYC to Long Beach, CA, landing in Dublin, Ireland."

    The real story is Corrigan couldn't get clearance for a trans-Atlantic flight and filed a bogus flight plan.
