I am hoping someone can help me decipher what is written just under "Lt WW Roberts" in the top right hand corner of this $1. Government of Trinidad and Tobago. Short Snorter. It was printed Jan 1, 1943. Also, what is the word written before "Mom" at the bottom of the other side of this bill? Thanks in advance~
Short Snorter and postal cover signed by the crew of Lonesome George, which took part in Operation Power Flite - the first non-stop circumnavigation of the earth.
On January 18, 1957, SAC sent three of B-52s around the world.
Two B-52s participated as back up aircraft. Their
trip round the world was nonstop with four in-flight refuelings by KC-97 tankers.
They flew 24,325 miles in 45:19 at an average speed of 534 mph from Castle AFB (January 16, 1957), landing at March AFB (January 18, 1957).
