You're referring, of course to turf toe? That would be my guess also.

Legend has it that during WWI, Sgt. York won the Medal of Honor when he demonstrated his markmanship with the 1903 Springfield rifle, killing and capturing a multitude of German soldiers. In actuality, he was using a different rifle, a rifle that equipped the large majority of our Doughboys in WWI. What was this rifle, what were the circumstances under which it came to be the workhorse of the U.S. Army during WWI, and who manufactured it? Anyone know this without the help of Google?

XC-99
They built & installed a "Nuclear Reactor" to test the possibility of Nuclear powered aircraft.
Thankfully it did not work out for AC.
But did work out for and was installed in What????

There are several kinds of Jet engines Ram jet (V-1) On & on.

A newer type of jet has been produced & tested that can power a plane to over 7,000 MPH????:anyone:

Anyone going to guess who designed a lot of the nose art of WW2???:confused3:

I believe that Disney was involved in that to some extent and maybe Walter Lanz of Woody Woodpecker fame. Some were simply the creation of talented service men who plied their trade on the nose of available aircraft.

One more
In WW1 the British developed & started using what then passed as a Tank.
How did it get its name?????

XC-99 I believe that was parked at Kelly AFB Tx in 1954/5 with a cracked wing spar. It was said a piper cub could take off in the length of the fuselage. I think it was built using B-36 wings.
