He loved everyone, and everyone loved Charlie : Former Winchester Mayor Charles Zuckerman dies

He was 96 years old. His health declined fairly quickly after his wife, Virginia, died on Oct. 10, said his daughter Katherine “Kitty” Zuckerman, one of the couple’s six children. “They would have celebrated their 73rd anniversary on Jan. 10, so it’s not a surprise that she left a huge void in his heart,” she said. As news of Zuckerman’s death spread, friends and family remembered not only his long political career — he served on City Council for more than a decade, then eight years as mayor — but his love of family and community. “He understood and looked out for everyone. He was just a people person. He loved everyone, and everyone loved Charlie,” said former Mayor Elizabeth “Liz” Minor, who served with Zuckerman on City Council beginning in 1980. “He was a wonderful mayor for the city — and just a good man.”

Special Plane, Special Role: How the P-38 Lightning Helped Win World War II

The P-38 joined the war late, but it quickly became a famous workhorse. Key point: The P-38 was one heck of a rugged airplane and it actually receded the vaunted P-51. Here is the Lightning s legacy. Due largely to their use in the postwar U.S. Army Air Forces and present proliferation among the air show community, the North American P-51 Mustang is thought of by many as the most important American fighter of World War II. In reality, however, the P-51 was a relative latecomer to the war, and even though it achieved a remarkable record during the last year of the war in Europe, it was not the fighter that first allowed Allied forces to gain air superiority over the Axis. By the time the redesigned Mustang made its appearance in the skies in Europe in the late winter of 1944, the Allied air forces were already clearing the skies in both Europe and the Pacific of German and Japanese aircraft and were in the process of gaining complete air superiority. This was all due to the twin-bo

COVID vaccinations began Tuesday at Chelsea Soldiers Home – Chelsea Record

On Tuesday, the first veteran residents at the Soldiers’ Home in Chelsea received the COVID-19 vaccination. Vaccination was done onsite through a federal Long Term Care pharmacy partnership program with CVS and Walgreens. The onsite vaccinations also began for staff at the Soldiers’ Home. In Chelsea, Dominic Pitella, 94, was the first resident vaccinated at the Soldiers’ Home. Pitella has been a resident of the Soldiers’ Home in Chelsea since April 2018. Pitella, a U.S. Army Air Corps Corporal, was a cook with the 559th Air Service Group and served in the Pacific Theater during World War II 1945-1946. His awards include the Army of Occupation Medal, World War II Victory Medal, and the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal.

The Iconic P-51 Mustang Fighter Was Originally a Piece of Junk

The airplane truly did develop into an outstanding fighter but it did not start out that way. If a single airplane has captured the public imagination more than any other, it is undoubtedly the North American P-51 Mustang fighter. In the minds of many, including the young fighter pilots who flew it during the final year of combat in Europe, it was the P-51 that allowed the Allies to attain complete air superiority over Europe. Many of the accolades bestowed upon the Mustang are not quite in tune with the facts, however. The airplane truly did develop into an outstanding fighter but it did not start out that way. Oddly enough, the design of the Mustang came about completely by accident and was more the result of corporate pride than military necessity. Its subsequent development also was more accidental than by design. The U.S. Army never even wanted the airplane, and the British were not happy with it when they got theirs.
