#OTD 1955, the Martin P6M SeaMaster strategic bomber flying boat flew for the first time. The SeaMaster was intended to give the Navy a strategic nuclear strike aircraft superior to the B-52. The program was canceled in favor of the Polaris submarine-launched ballistic missile.

#OTD 1943, K-74 became the only U.S. blimp lost to enemy action when it was shot down by the German submarine U-134 in the Straits of Florida. The crew was rescued except for one sailor who died after being attacked by a shark. U-134 was sunk a month later by the @RoyalAirForce.

The formal ground-breaking for the Langley Memorial Aeronautics Laboratory (now @NASA_Langley) happened #OTD in 1917. Construction over the next 3 years was by all accounts a nightmare thanks to marshy terrain, untrained workers, and the Spanish Flu pandemic. (46 workers died!)

After failing to trim down in the vertical [I have an excuse!!!] the nose pitched beyond the vertical & I got a GLIDE CONE caution as we accelerated away from the field. So I did a 180 roll and flew inverted to fix the caution & drive the reentry point directly over MHV. Whew!

For the past 80 years, research in @NASA_Langley's Vertical Spin Tunnel has supported many industries, including commercial aviation & the development of nearly every U.S. military aircraft designed since WWII, completing more than 600 projects to date.
