The first aircraft to fly the Atlantic (with stops!)

There were three of these NC-4’s which started across the Atlantic in May 1919 for Europe but only the NC-4 piloted by LCDR. A. C. Read completed the crossing. The flight began at Trepassey, New Foundland on May 16, 1919 and after 17 hours the NC-4 arrived at Horta, Azores. Ten days later it completed the flight arriving at Plymouth, England on May 26, 1919.

“You see, Greg, when you yell at a dog, his tail will go between his legs and cover his genitals. His ears will go down. A dog is very easy to break. But cats make you work for their affection. They don’t sell out the way dogs do.” - Jack Byrnes, Meet the Parents

We had an in-depth conversation with Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich and they talked about why performing with Atoms for Peace is so much fun, what they love (and hate) about dance music right now, what’s next for Radiohead and tons more.

Truman and Stalin, in Color

Another great color photo of President Truman with someone you might not expect – Joseph Stalin.

Truman and Stalin met while attending the Potsdam Conference in Germany in July of 1945, shortly after the end of World War II in Europe.
