The B-24: Hitler and Hirohito Had NO Idea...

 
 
Bet you didn't know that Ford had its own pilots to test the B-24 Liberators it was building for the ARMY at the rate of one every 55 MINUTES!!   A little bit of history for aviation buffs.
 
This was BEFORE Pearl Harbor ! Ford's B-24 Bomber Plant at Willow Run, Mich.   Henry Ford was determined that he could mass produce bombers just as he had done with cars.
 
He built the Willow Run assembly plant and proved it.
 
It was the world's largest building under one roof.

The Easter Rocket War of Vrontados

http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2014/04/the-easter-rocket-war-of-vrontados/100720/
Every Easter, in the Greek village of Vrontados, members of rival churches sitting across a small valley stage a "rocket war" by firing thousands of homemade rockets towards each other while services are held. The objective for each side is to strike the bell of the opposing church. The festival, called Rouketopolemos, has been celebrated by the churches of Agios Markos and Panagia Erithiani for at least 125 years, its exact origins a mystery.
