Since the Calgary Stampede kicked off today, I thought I would look at Calgary's municipal flag and the history and symbolism behind it. This flag was adopted by the city on Oct. 3, 1983 and much of it celebrates the history of the city. 🧵1/4

From 1957-1960, Nashville experienced 3 bombings - an elementary school that had just been integrated, the home of a city council member who was also a prominent Civil Rights attorney, and a synagogue. Betsy Phillips examines these bombings and why they remain unsolved. #PhotoFriday #Histbookchat

Here's a thread on the IJA's Ki-43 and IJN's A6M fighters. The two aircraft were often mixed up by the Allies during the war and confusion continues to this day. It was hard to decide what I would and wouldn't include, so note this is nowhere close to exhaustive. Click through until "END." 🧵

The Zero met with overwhelming success from its debut in 1940 through much of 1942 for a variety of reasons. It being a great aircraft was only one of them. 🧵
