Note at 0:46 the unfortunate 1.1-inch gun crew decimated with a lower torso still in the seat. A 530-pound bomb exploded on the flight deck just aft of the midships elevator. The blast sent deadly shrapnel flying directly into nearby anti-aircraft positions, decimating the crews manning 1.1-inch machine gun mount #4

Louis Chevrolet
(1878-1941)
Swiss auto racer and co-founder of Chevrolet Motor Car Company, dies of a heart attack at 62
85 Years since he passed away.
The story of Louis Chevrolet is the ultimate tale of a brilliant engineering mind who was incredibly rich in talent, but completely broke in business.
Here is a breakdown of the key chapters of his life, from a Swiss clockmaker's son to the namesake of an American powerhouse.
Quick Profile
Born: December 25, 1878 (La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland)
Died: June 6, 1941 (Detroit, Michigan)
Known For: Co-founding the Chevrolet Motor Car Company, legendary race car driving, and designing the Frontenac race cars.
1. From Bicycles to Race Cars
Louis grew up the son of a Swiss clockmaker, which is likely where he inherited his precision engineering skills. In his youth, his family moved to France, where he became a champion bicycle racer and developed a passion for the brand-new world of gasoline engines.
He immigrated to the United States in 1901. Within a few years, he became a superstar on the dirt-track racing circuit. He was physically imposing (5'10" and well over 200 lbs), wore a massive handlebar mustache, and drove with an aggressive, absolutely fearless "dare-devil" style that drew massive crowds.
2. The Billy Durant Partnership
Louis’s racing fame caught the attention of William C. "Billy" Durant, the ambitious founder of General Motors who had recently been ousted from his own company by financial backers. Durant needed a win to get back in the game, and Louis had the name recognition and mechanical genius to build a car from scratch.
In 1911, they formed the Chevrolet Motor Car Company in Flint, Michigan. Louis designed the "Classic Six"—a massive, luxury touring car built with exceptional quality.
3. The Million-Dollar Argument
The partnership didn't last. Louis was a proud, temperamental artisan who wanted to build high-end, premium machines. Durant, seeing the runaway success of Henry Ford, wanted to pivot to cheap, mass-produced economy cars.
The personality clash peaked in 1914. Legend has it that Durant insulted the way Louis dressed and his habit of smoking expensive cigarettes. Furious, Louis snapped, told Durant he was leaving, and sold his stock for next to nothing. Crucially, he left the rights to his own name behind. Durant used the wildly profitable, cheap Chevy cars to buy back control of GM, while Louis walked away with pocket change.
4. The Indy 500 Glory
Louis didn't stop building cars. He and his brothers, Arthur and Gaston, moved to Indianapolis and formed the Frontenac Motor Corporation, focusing purely on high-performance racing.
They achieved incredible success at the Indianapolis 500:
1920: Youngest brother Gaston won the Indy 500 in a Frontenac. Tragically, Gaston was killed in a race crash later that year.
1921: A Frontenac car designed by Louis won the Indy 500 again, driven by Tommy Milton.
5. A Tragic End
Despite his engineering brilliance, Louis was a poor businessman. The Great Depression of 1929 completely wiped out his remaining aviation and automotive ventures.
By the late 1930s, broke, suffering from severe depression, and dealing with failing health (including a leg amputation due to atherosclerosis), Louis returned to Detroit. In a cruel twist of irony, he took a job as a line mechanic for the very Chevrolet division of General Motors he had founded.
He passed away following a heart attack on June 6, 1941. Today, he rests in Holy Cross and Saint Joseph Cemetery in Indianapolis—just down the road from the famous Motor Speedway where his engineering genius made history.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump OBLITERATES Maryland Gov. Wes Moore for ATTACKING the Air Force by blocking renovations at Joint Base Andrews Air Force Base

"The Governor of the Great State of Maryland, Wes Moore, has put a halt to all work being done at Joint Base Andrews Air Force Base, concerning the renovation and restoration of their two old and dilapidated Golf Courses, into two, World Class, Jack Nicklaus Designed Courses, plus nine additional holes, also designed by Jack, specially adapted for our Wounded Warriors."

"By doing this, the Governor is attacking the United States Air Force, and our Military, not a smart thing to do. These Courses exist, they are terrible, Jack Nicklaus will make them GREAT."

"Why should the Air Force and other Military personnel be forced to wait through a long Legal Review process and, perhaps, even more so, why should Wounded Warriors be forced to travel long distances to play Golf somewhere else or, worse yet, not play Golf at all. Our Soldiers and Veterans deserve THE BEST — NO WAITING, NO GAMES! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"
