Standing at the base of a B-25 Mitchell, retired Air Force officer Bob Chaplin described how the stately bombers descended on Tokyo in the first American bombing raid on Japan during World War II before rattling off the kill records of famous fighter aces. Elsewhere in the hangar, 2-year-old Connor Gillin held a model B- 17 aloft and spun circles beside his father, Jon Gillin, shouting, "Airplane! Airplane!

WASHINGTON - Call it the granddaddy of WikiLeaks. Four decades ago, a young defense analyst leaked a top-secret study packed with damaging revelations about Americas conduct of the Vietnam War. On Monday, that study, dubbed the Pentagon Papers, finally came out in complete form. Its a touchstone for whistleblowers everywhere and just the sort of leak that gives presidents fits to this day. The documents show that almost from the opening lines, it was apparent that the authors knew they had produced a hornets nest. In his Jan. 15, 1969, confidential memorandum introducing the report to the defense chief, the chairman of the task force that produced the study hinted at the explosive nature of the contents. Writing history, especially where it blends into current events, especially where t...

LOS ANGELES, June 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- In Dec. 1950, Korea's northeast seaside town Heungnam was at the critical state: 105,000 American military members and 100,000 refugees were hemmed in by Chinese Reds and the North Korean military. Against an enemy's attack, a shortage of troopships, and dreadful cold, refugees' starvation was inevitable. In this poor situation, the American and Korean military gave up numerous war supplies and created the most loving and touching humanitarian drama by saving 100,000 refugees. One of the 7600-ton troopships entered in the Heungnam evacuation plan; the Meredith Victory was originally a merchant ship that was designed to carry only 59 passengers but it transported about 14,000 refugees to the land of freedom, South Korea. Five babies were born on...

This article offers a critique of some recent work on gender, which, influenced by the linguistic turn, over-states the historical significance of identity. Drawing on the work of the First World War tank commander and later Kleinian psychoanalyst Wilfred Bion, the article offers some suggestions about what a history of masculinity in the First World War might look if emotional experience, rather than "identity," was at the centre of study. Focusing on two men, one an officer and Regular soldier, the other a rank-and-file Volunteer, the article explores the emotional impact of the war on the domestic lives of veterans. The war, it argues, drew men into relationships of care that had traditionally been women's domain; in the process creating both a crisis and an opportunity for subjectiv...

I dont get a thrill out of scaring people," he said. Really? Imagine an aerial dogfight in World War II. Imagine soaring over the New River Gorge in an open cockpit World War II biplane. Imagine a tummy-lurching nosedive to the treetops, a dizzying loop toward the sun with gravity gripping hard on your innards while you holler and laugh and hang on for dear life. Scared? Oh, no. Not me. Im the best pilot in the world, he said. Chris Kappler gets his thrills introducing people to the heart-pounding, eye-popping, squeal- producing joys of old-fashioned, open-air flight. Imagine the thrill of sky diving and whitewater rafting, roller coasting and ferris wheeling all wrapped up into one wild whoop-de-do ride of a lifetime. Its like that. If merry-go-rounds are more your speed, Kappler can ...
