Boeing’s Model 853-21 Quiet Bird was a stealth aircraft program in development for the US Army all the way back in the early 1960s that often goes forgotten today.

It was ultimately canceled, but Boeing rolled much of what they learned into the AGM-86 ALCM. A subsonic air-launched cruise missile (ALCM) built by Boeing at $1 million per boom and operated by the US Air Force...made famous during Operation Desert Storm.
Nov 18, 1952: F9F-5 Panther pilot LT Royce Williams was serving with VF-781 aboard the USS Oriskany as part of Task Force 77. He shot down 4 Soviet MiG-15s after he and his wingman were attacked near the coast of North Korea. The other three pilots had to return to the carrier and the MiGs began to fire on Williams, putting him into a one-man dogfight with seven MiG-15s that lasted 35 minutes. It is believed to be the longest dogfight in U.S. Navy history. He made it back to the Carrier with 263 holes counted in his Panther jet.
To avoid escalating the Korean War, the incident was kept secret. In January 2023, Williams was awarded the Navy Cross as an upgrade of the Silver Star the Navy awarded him in 1953. There is now a campaign to have Williams awarded the Medal of Honor. Capt Williams is 98 and still kickin.

The Sol Foundation Initiative
A religion? "Sol Invictus, on the other hand, was a Syrian sun god whose cult was first promoted in Rome under Marcus Aurelius Antoninus aka Elagabalus, without success. Some fifty years later, on 25 December AD 274, the Roman emperor Aurelian established the cult of Sol Invictus as an official religion, alongside the traditional Roman cults."
