Navy Lt. j.g. Alfred Lerch had a relatively short career for a naval aviator, earning his naval wings in 1944 and serving aboard the USS Intrepid in 1945 with, as he described it, only one “really good crack at” the Imperial Japanese Navy. But in that good crack, on April 16, 1945, Alfred Lerch went from zero enemy downs to seven in just 13 minutes, making him one of the fastest fighter aces of all time.

The military had realized it was a giant boost to morale, was less impactful on operations than alcohol and was relatively cheap to make. In 1943 alone the Army’s Quartermaster Corps shipped at least 135 million pounds of the ingredients to make ice cream out to bases.
When Americans think of the Green Berets, they picture a brotherhood of elite soldiers capable of operating deep behind enemy lines, blending language, culture, and tactical mastery to accomplish impossible missions. But the roots of this ethos—the spirit of unconventional warfare and liberation—stretch back far earlier than the 20th century.
U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff General David Allvin on November 12 confirmed that the F-47 sixth generation fighter is intended to make its first flight in 2028, which represents the most explicit public reference to the fighter program’s flight timeline by officials so far.
