             IT HAPPENED TODAY!

   It's November 12th. Just an ordinary day.

Just past Veteran's Day and still a bit away

from Thanksgiving. Just an ordinary day. But

yet, there have been some unusual events on

this date you won't find in most History books.

In 1941, for instance, Alma Heflin became the 

first female commercial test pilot! Her first

test flight was for Piper Aircraft in Lock

Haven, Pennsylvania. November 12th 1926

marked the first time bombs were dropped on

America! But they weren't dropped by an foreign

enemy. They were dropped by bootleggers on an

opposing gang of bootleggers in Williamson County,

Illinois! Hugh Gray was busy on November 12th

of 1933. He was taking the first reported photo

of what may have been the Loch Ness Monster!

And in 1859 a young aerial artist preformed the

first flying trapeze act at a circus in Paris. You 

don't remember the act of course, but you may

recognize his name from the garment he designed

that still bears his name. Leotard! I wonder what

will happen on this November 12th? Who knows?

Hope it's something interesting amd that all your

NEWS is good!
