July 27, 1941 #WWII NYT The President's order will place the recently organized defensive forces of the Philippines upon a virtual war-time basis. The National Assembly of the Philippines had already granted emergency powers to President Manuel Quezon in 1940 to control the economy of the islands.
General Douglas MacArthur, former Chief of Staff of the United States Army, was named by the War Department in Washington today to command the forces. He was sent to the Philippine Government under legislation in 1935 to serve as military adviser to the Philippines.

In June 1940, Nazis attacked the city of Orléans, burning an annex of its fine arts museum, known as the Musée Paul Fourché, which, in the chaos of the invading Germans, was almost entirely ransacked, likely by people on both sides of the conflict.

#WWII Lt. Martin James Monti was desperately flying an unarmed, modified P-38 Lightning photo reconnaissance plane across the Italian Front. Monti was an Army Air Forces pilot, but he wasn't on a recon mission. He had stolen the plane and was headed for the Nazi-occupied city of Milan to defect to the German Army.

July 21, 1951 #WWII NYT Martin James Monti, 30-year-old former Air Force flier, denied yesterday before Federal Judge Robert Inch in Brooklyn that he ever had applied for membership in the Schutzstaffel, the Nazi elite guard, while he was a prisoner of war.
When Monti landed the plane on the Nazi airfield on Oct. 13, 1944, he was captured as a regular prisoner of war, but soon convinced his captors that he was defecting. His plane was seized for intelligence purposes. From there, he was sent to Berlin.

The thriving plant in his Paris studio became a powerful, earthy metaphor for the human spirit’s refusal to be crushed by war.
