From Air Force Times Triple ace who fought in two wars dies The Shreveport (La.) Times Posted : Tuesday Jun 19, 2007 4:41:10 EDT Robin Olds, one of the legends of the Air Force, died of congestive heart failure Thursday at the age of 84. A retired brigadier general, he died at his home in Steamboat Springs, Colo., according to a release from the Air Force. Olds achieved almost legendary status in the Vietnam War, developing a flamboyant leadership style, with a full, handlebar mustache and a panache that was an inspiration to younger pilots. Though a wing commander, he led by example, taking combat to the enemy. His F-4C Phantom fighter “Scat XXVII” — al…

Also, I almost don't feel as strange to brownse in Russian sites easily without known Russian language (And my region in Spain is full of Russian inmigrants, it's usual for me to hear Russian daily, and it's a sweet tongue, perhaps some day I would understand it ...): http://tu-128.ru/

That gratitude will be expressed Thursday when the legendary black aviators will receive a Congressional Gold Medal during a ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda. The award is the most prestigious Congress can offer. “It’s never too late for your country to say that you’ve done a great job for us,” said Ret. C…

From CBC News U-boat captain’s daughter visits St. John’s 29 men died when Marita Collings's father sank two ships near Bell Island Last Updated: Thursday, July 8, 2010 | 9:42 PM NT The daughter of a Nazi U-boat captain who sank ships near St. John's during the Second World War struggled with mixed emotions on a pilgrimage to Newfoundland this week to make peace with her father's past. Marita Collings says the difficult trip brought her closer to her late father, Rolf Ruggeberg. "I have felt very close to my father these past few days," she said. "I think in many ways he would've been proud that I brought up the courage to come over here and do these thi…

U.S. Gives Russia Info On Sub That Sank In '68 By Mike Eckel, Associated Press Moscow--U.S. military officials on Monday gave Russia a videotape and other archival materials on the Soviet K-129 submarine, whose sinking in 1968 is a lingering Cold War mystery. At a ceremony in the Far Eastern port of Vladivostok, Russia's Pacific Fleet archive and museum received copies of formerly classified documents, including two ship logs related to the K-129 incident and to U.S. efforts to salvage the sub from the sea floor in the central Pacific. Also turned over was a videotape of a secret burial at sea for six Soviet sailors whose bodies were recovered when the Uni…
