Following the occupation of France by Germany during WWII, the Free French Air Force (FAFL) opened aviation schools in North Africa.

Read how these tanks were used in the Battle of Moscow and later campaigns in my book, British Tanks of the Red Army.

This was such a fun photo to set up, taken by Thomas Reiter through a sleep station window on Mir. The sun was so bright we were all squinting like crazy. But I love how it shows the texture of the Shuttle's rough, protective hide, and the glimpse of humanity (and my moustache) against the universe.

HMHS Britannic sank on this day in 1916. She had left Southampton on 12 November but hit a mine in the Aegean Sea nine days later. Thirty people died. Among the survivors were Violet Jessop, Arthur Priest, and Archie Jewell, who had all survived the sinking of Britannic’s sister, Titanic, in 1912.
HMHS Britannic.

Absolutely gorgeous bookmail today, @ianmcque.bsky.social’s Mileships: a narrative art book of in-universe articles and journals, mixed with sketches and notes.

Today's exciting post? Mileships, the highly anticipated art book by @ianmcque.bsky.social with accompanying texts by @rossignol.bsky.social - supported the kickstarter for this, a no brainer, been loving Ian's weird ships (and everything else) for years.
Front cover of book. Shows a cobbled together boat, but it is flying. Town below, with similar cobbled together feel, clouds drift in background. Text: MILESHIPS, IAN McQUE Back of book, another flying boat, though less built up, more functional. Page inside book, working man sat on girder, wearing overalls and harness. Boat in background. Sketches from the book. One shows a flying boat like a multistory house. Other shows shape like hollowed out whale, with lighthouse tower in stern.

#OTD in 1953, Scott Crossfield was the first man to break the Mach 2 barrier in Douglas D-558-II Skyrocket #37974 NACA-144.

Crossfield reached Mach 2.005, which was 25% beyond the aircraft's original design intention.

Scott Crossfield was a badass.

Original NASA Image Caption: The D-558-2 is launched from the Navy P2B-1S (Navy designation for the B-29) in this 1950s photograph. The early Douglas and NACA flights of the D-558-2s used only the airplane’s jet engine and took off from the lakebed. This limited the aircraft’s altitude and speed. The solution was to convert the D-558-2 to rocket or combined jet-and-rocket propulsion and to airdrop it from a B-29 converted to the Navy’s P2B-1S configuration. The drop plane was P2B-1S serial number 84029. It had been built as a B-29 (Army Air Forces 45-21787) before being modified as a drop plane for the Navy. Dubbed “Fertile Myrtle,” the mothership used the call sign “NACA 137.” NASA Image E-2478

Gentlemen, no fighting in the
Sign for the Lascaris War Rooms and Operation Husky Museum. I'm unsure what ironic activity you could carry out in there - it's presumably somewhere to chill out...

Astonishing and grotesque statement by Trump.
A tweet from “Republicans against Tr…” quotes Trump saying that Khashoggi was controversial and “things happen,” adding that MBS “knew nothing about it” and that there's no need to embarrass the guest. The image shows Trump seated beside a man wearing traditional Saudi attire in a lavishly decorated room. A tweet from “PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl” reads: “‘Things happen’??? Jamal Khashoggi was murdered, chopped into pieces, put into suitcases, and flown out of the country… But we shouldn’t ‘embarrass our guest’??? What are we doing here America?”
