Milestones of Flight
I just came across a fun blog - Cut and Paste Aviation.
The online aviation athenaeum providing daily milestones of flight -- past and present, links to books, articles, documentaries, and other online resources celebrating and educating the public about the world-changing achievements of flight.

The milestones in flight feature is quite enlightening.
On 12/8/1965:
150 U.S. Air Force and Navy planes launch Operation Tiger Hound to interdict the Ho Chi Minh Trail in the lower portion of the Laotian panhandle, from Route 9 west of the Demilitarized Zone, south to the Cambodian border.

The purpose of this operation, which lasted until 1968, was to reduce North Vietnamese infiltration down the trail into South Vietnam. After 1968, the Tiger Hound missions became part of a new operation called Commando Hunt.


On 11/30/1907:
Glenn Curtisslinks founds the Curtiss Aeroplane Company. It is the first US airplane manufacturing company.

Facts I did not know. Interesting site.
