Firing Up the Lightning

Pilot Charles Hainline turns over one of P-38F Lightning White 33's two Allison engines at a National Museum of World War II Aviation event, before taking it up for a demonstration flight for the crowd. White 33 is a Pacific combat veteran aircraft with recorded victories, and is not just airworthy but flown often!

Obsessed with the ad to join the US Military playing before Godzilla Minus One. We get to watch this amazing film about the trauma of war, the struggle to rebuild after the destruction of bombings, the fight to value individual humans in the face of governments who see them as fodder AND THERE'S A FUCKING AD RIGHT BEFORE SAYING "THIS FILM WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE US MILITARY" !??!?! LIKE YEAH I GUESS IT KINDA WAS BUT----

83 years ago, Independence Day was celebrated in somewhat different circumstances.

Street fighting on Independence Day in -34 degree frost in Karhumäki, Eastern Karelia, on December 6, 1941.

A high price has been paid for Finland's independence. We must cherish and protect this heritage that has been left to us. Happy Independence Day! •••••••• 83 vuotta sitten itsenäisyyspäivää vietettiin hieman erilaisemmissa tunnelmissa.

Katutaistelua itsenäisyyspäivänä -34 asteen pakkasessa Itä-Karjalan Karhumäessä, 6.12.1941.

Itsenäisyydestä on maksettu kova hinta. Meidän tulee vaalia ja suojella tätä perintöä, joka meille on jätetty. Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää! •••••••• [ sa-kuva | 66119 | T.Norjavirta ]

This is a colourization I did of actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr. There is too much to summarize about her life, so I urge you to read the Wikipedia article about her: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedy_Lamarr
