Dec 7, 1941
In what President Roosevelt called a "Day of Infamy" carrier based Japaneese aircraft attack American forces at Pearl Harbor, bringing the country into WWII

Dec 20, 1989
Operation Just Cause begins as AC-130 gunships attack ground targets while C130's drop Army Rangers in the first phase of the invasion of Panama.

Dec 9, 1956
The first Lockheed C-130A Herculesis delivered to the 463rd Troop Carrier Wing at Ardmore AFB OK

Dec 15, 1944
Bound for France, bandleader Army Maj. General Glenn Miller and two others take off from England in a Noorduyn C-64 Norseman but are never heard from again. It is likely that the single engine plane crashed in the English Channel, but this has never been verified.

Dec 18, 1972
During the linebacker II bombing of Hanoi, SSGT Samuel Turner becomes the first B-52 gunner to shoot down enemy aircraft in the Viet Nam conflict (I call it a war)

More in January. :assult:
