A mysterious, multinational group of pilots was named the Flying Tigers prior to the attacks on Pearl Harbor during World War II. The volunteer group was made up of pilots from each branch of the US military who flew in Curtiss P-40B Warhawks adorned with Chinese colours. It was strange to see such a group before America entered World War II.

Members of the Flying Tigers may have been military, but they were not an official US squadron. Instead, they were members of the Republic China Air Force and were given contracts ranging from $250 a month to $750 a month. The group was disbanded on July 4, 1942. His records still stand.

A man making wallpaper with German money in the 1920s 💰

The country went into hyperinflation after the disastrous end of World War I for Germany. By 1923, the German mark held an exchange rate of one trillion marks to one dollar. Mark was considered useless by everyone around the world, and especially in Germany.

JFK, moments before his assassination

When President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, it was one of the most traumatic events in American history. At that time no one had seen anything like this happening. And the fact that it was being reported in real time was really heartbreaking for people across the country.

President Kennedy was not the only person to be shot that day. James T. Tag was hit by a stray bullet intended for the President while the caravan was standing in traffic. He told ABC:

I was standing on the triple underpass at 

the time and was injured by a piece that

 bounced off the sidewalk. It certainly 

didn't sound like a rifle shot. It was

 as loud as a cannon and it stung my 

right cheek. I wondered what had just 

happened and a man in a suit who

 turned out to be a plainclothes deputy

 sheriff asked what had happened.

 People across the street were sobbing,

 'His head exploded.' The policeman said

 'Whose head?' It belonged to the President.

 Then he looked at me and said, 

'You have blood on your face.'

Monkey Sam after returning from space 🐵🚀

What mysteries might this monkey have seen on its brief journey through the universe? Did any of this make sense to Sam, a rhesus monkey, as he blasted past the stars on the rocket Little Joe-2? Or was he just scared and holding on for dear life?

Sam was weightless for three minutes during his journey through space. His survival paved the way for NASA's successful space program that took place in the 1960s, most notably the Project Mercury program – the first human space flight. If only Sam the Monkey knew how important his dangerous and terrifying task was.

A heavily redacted official FBI document discussing UFOs

This redacted FBI file definitely says something about the existence of unidentified flying objects. We've seen the military build their own covert craft that were mistaken as UFO-powered craft, but this document shows that there are some UFOs that the government is still unsure about. Or at least there are crafts that the government doesn't know about.

Lyndon B. Johnson during the Vietnam War

No one wants to lose their position in government because of the assassination, but Lyndon B. Johnson inherited more than the presidency, he inherited a war. When the Vietnam problem fell into Johnson's lap, he asked Congress to draft a resolution that gave him the authority to send troops to Vietnam without actually saying that America was at war. On August 4, 1964, the White House claimed that North Vietnamese forces had destroyed the U.S.S. Maddox in the Gulf of Tonkin - but all was not as it seemed.
