Today in 1988, the American missile cruiser USS Vincennes shoots down an Iranian jetliner in the Persian Gulf killing 290 civilians. The vessel's crew reportedly mistake the Airbus for a hostile warplane and open fire after repeated attempts to make radio contact. https://t.co/SP55E7yLwN

The daughter of one of Wellington's soldiers, she recalled being five-years-old and watching her mother tend to the wounded at a British field hospital as the fighting raged. https://t.co/hywGQJiAD0

The Vietnam War-era AC-47 Spooky gunship packed a serious punch. Based on the old Douglas Skytrain, it was fitted with a trio of side-mounted 7.62 mm General Electric miniguns that together could lay down 18,000 rounds per minute of close air support for ground troops. https://t.co/2p4tVxs5Qu
