On this day in 1929 Charles Lindbergh took off for Paris from Long Island, N.Y., his plane- the Spirit of St. Louis. Several hours (33 1/2) later he became the first man to do a nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean.

And five years to the day later...

Amelia Earhart took off from Newfoundland landing in Ireland to become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.

Newfoundland to Ireland? What is that? The aviation version of a ladies tee?

Also on this day in 1969 U.S. and South Vietnamese forces finally captured Apbia Mountain, AKA Hamburger Hill. One of the bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War.
