I have a calendar for 2009 from the Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor, very fitting since this blog is probably 80% on that war.
Each month features a World War II poster, a picture, and events of the war.
April's poster was of two airmen with the words, "Under the shadow of their wings our land shall dwell secure."
The insert photo was of the Doolittle Tokyo Raiders, Crew No. 6: Lt. Dean E. Hallmark, pilot; Lt. Robert J. Meder, copilot; Lt. Chase J. Neilsen, navigator; Sgt. William J. Dieter, bombardier; and Sgt. Donald E. Fitzmaurice, flight engineer/gunner.
April 18, 1942, was the date of the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo.
Other April World War dates:
April 1, 1945-- US invades Okinawa.
April 9, 1942-- US forces on Bataan surrender unconditionally to the Japanese.
April 10, 1942-- Bataan Death March begins.
April 12, 1945-- President Roosevelt dies and is succeeded by Harry S. Truman.
A Very Nice Calendar Indeed. --Cooter
