#airmen — Public Fediverse posts

Peoples of the internets: anyone know if a WWII-era “short snorter” roll that includes Charles Lindbergh’s signature is of interest to museums or collectors?

This is from my grandfather, who was a navigator for the Marines in WWII.

The #USAF has removed training courses with videos of its storied #Tuskegee #Airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots, or #WASPs — #WW2 #pilots who were vital in ferrying warplanes for the #military — to comply with the #trumpmeltdown administration’s crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

The videos were shown to Air Force troops as part of #DEI courses they took during basic military training.

Fucking #MAGAt weeping about how much he respects American #soldiers.
What about #sailors, #airmen, and #marines, you fucking posing jackass? How about the merchant marines, who had the highest casualty rate in WW2?
I'm a merchant mariner and volunteered for call up if needed. I'm a lefty though. We aren't counted. No matter our service. But some rando karaoke dj wearing flag shorts is a better American.
Apparently.

#WWII Rescue #Buoy Was Floating #Hotel For Downed #Pilots
These floating hotels would serve as temporary safe houses for any #German unlucky enough to find themselves in the drink, but lucky enough to find themselves near one such bouy in #EnglishChannel. Warm, clean clothes, bunks, and even booze and board games were all available to the #airmen who managed to scramble up bobbing yellow rescue bouys. Each bouy was made to accommodate four men, and size and shape varied. https://jalopnik.com/wwii-rescue-buoy-was-a-floating-hotel-for-downed-pilots-1851112752

The remains of British airmen shot down by the Nazis over Dutch waters may have been discovered in a massive rescue operation.

With the help of a €15m national plane-wreck rescue fund, the Dutch have started to sift the wreckage of the British Lancaster ED603, which never returned from a mass bombing mission targeting Bochum in Germany on 13 June 1943.
