High-tech deep ocean mission unveils never-before-seen images of lost WWI submarine In a remarkable blend of cutting-edge technology, historical curiosity, and deep-sea exploration, a recent expedition has uncovered the most detailed imagery ever captured of the USS F-1 submarine—more than a century after it sank off the coast of San Diego in 1917. The World War I-era vessel went down during a training accident, taking 19 crew members with it. Now, in a series of coordinated dives, researchers have produced stunning 3D models and high-definition photographs of the wreck, lying at 400 meters beneath the surface...

Crap. I've been struggling with how to realistically get another female character into the very male setting of the World War I trenches. It's only NOW, 60% of the way through my detailed outline that I figure it out. It was staring me in the face the whole time.
A woman disguised as a man so she could fight. History is full of examples.
Gotta start over to fit her into the story. At least it's not from scratch.

Early air battles: 2 compelling book illustrations by #Czech #Jewish artist Georg Jilovský. Producing art for Austria-Hungary during #WWI did not help him during the #Holocaust. He survived Auschwitz, but his sons died there & his wife died of the consequences of imprisonment

Zeppelin Squadron Over Paris color print Four beige Zeppelins cruise over Paris, projecting searchlights downward. One captures a monoplane in flight. Meanwhile, another plane goes down in flames Landmarks include bridges, the Eiffel Tower, and Invalides
Nocturnal battle in the skies: black-and-white illiustration: above the silhouette of a city in black, the night sky represented by thin vertical lines. a two-man monoplane with Iron Crosses on the wings engages in combat.

As long as we're on the subject of the dangers of early 20th-century aviation and burnt fuselages, I of course have to share this classic piece of World War I sheet #music (details in alt text)

Wop May: Legendary Aviator and Lifesaver ✈️❄️

Wilfrid 'Wop' May served with distinction in WWI, famously surviving a dogfight against the Red Baron. Postwar, he pioneered northern bush flying & in 1929 delivered life-saving diphtheria serum to Fort Vermilion, Alberta. In 1932, he played a crucial role in the manhunt for the Mad Trapper of Rat River - aerial scouting assisting RCMP. 🇨🇦 #Canada #History #WWI #WopMay

Trump continues on his Insult, Offend & Belittle tour.

BTW, Don-Don Bonespurs, we had the major advantage in both #WWI & #WWII of not having to try to defend ourselves & simultaneously evict the enemy while our entire country was physically under enemy fire or occupation.

But what would you know about it.

#VeteransDay was originally called Armistice Day in the #UnitedStates to mark the end of #WWI. After #WWII & the #KoreanWar, it was renamed, & its scope was expanded to honor all US #military #veterans. Memorial Day, which falls on the last Monday in May, specifically honors those who gave their lives for the country.

[but we know what #Trump thinks about military #ServiceMembers & veterans: “suckers & losers”]

Ok so for the record

WWI started in July 1914 . The USA declare war to Germany only in April 1917 . Despite his conviction that Germany must be defeated, President Wilson went to war to ensure the US played a leading role in shaping the peace.

WWII started in September 1939. The USA didn’t first declared war to Germany or Italy. In fact after the Pearl Harbor attack on the 7 th December 1941 , the USA did nothing regarding the European front.
