May 27, 1944: The obscure story of a Marine B-25 dropping a 65-foot-long scroll signed by 35,000 Oklahoma City school children on a Japanese airfield in 1944 is documented in a few sources, though details vary slightly. The event is associated with a war bond campaign where Oklahoma school children raised funds (each child contributed 10 cents) to purchase a C-47 transport plane, and the scroll was dropped during a bombing raid over Rabaul by the Marine squadron VMB-423. The children named the plane "Invasion Chief".

May 27, 1957: Rock ‘n’ Roll classic single That’ll be the Day by Buddy Holly & The Crickets was released in the USA. The song was written by Buddy Holly and Jerry Allison. Holly’s producer Norman Petty was credited as a co-writer but did not contribute to the composition.




May 27, 1958: the keel was laid for America's second boomer, USS Patrick Henry (SSBN-599). Three years later, she became the first ballistic missile submarine to enter Holy Loch, Scotland. She was named after the American Revolutionary War figure and Founding Father Patrick Henry (1736–1799), was a George Washington class nuclear-powered fleet ballistic missile submarine of the US Navy. She was later converted into an attack submarine and re-designated SSN-599. Decommissioned on May 25, 1984.



Patrick Henry had some prestigious drivers in her time. The Father of the Hydrogen Bomb (Dr. Edward Teller), the Father of the Nuclear Navy (Admiral Hyman Rickover) and possibly the happiest person to ever sit dive & drive, President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

The coach was carrying pensioners, all elderly women on a day trip to the Yorkshire Dales. It’s the highest ever death toll in a single road accident in the UK but is now largely forgotten.
