Snapshots of History.

Oh, Lord. That was a typo. It was the 1870s...

Good! I though so from the photo. Is it Doc Holiday?

I knew you'd get that one, you devil.. I guess I'm partial to "Doc's". Holliday was born in Georgia, went to dental school in Philadelphia, but moved to the Southwest for the dry air on account of his tuberculosis diagnosis.

Lay one upon us....

Many people and researchers believe that Hitler escaped to South America. There is an interesting 25 episode series on the History channel that goes into much of the evidence. Believe it or don't-- much of it is very interesting:

~Doc[quote] I have an open mind on it Doc.

There's nothing historical going on in this photo. But why is the plane covered in graffiti?

Two guesses. A USAF plane on a naval vessel? Or is that dumb?
Sending a message to the Vietcong?

Both good guesses, but not right. Read the graffiti and that will give you a clue.

Something to do with the Battle Of the Coral Sea?

Do we have a reveal on this?

Sure the answer is, the Navy had a tradition of graffiting planes that landed on the wrong carrier.

That is a tuffie. Yours again.

Go ahead and post one, you mostly got it right.

Another war one. WW2 this time.

I swear the guy in front is actor Clint Walker. It really looks like him.

The North African campaign?
