COLUMBIA FALLS, Maine â On Saturday, a group called Wreaths Across America honored soldiers whose disappearance remains one of the biggest mysteries of the Vietnam War.
Flight 739, nicknamed The Flying Tiger, went missing on March 16, 1962, and the 93 U.S. Army Rangers on board were presumed dead.
No trace of wreckage was ever recovered, and due to the complexities surrounding the mission, the names of all those on board have not yet been added to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The World s 5 Best 9mm Pistols? Look No Further.
The 9mm Luger round will be around for many more years. Here are five of the best guns the round is used in.
Here s What You Need To Remember: One of the newest 9mm Luger handguns is the Heckler & Koch VP9. Introduced in 2014, the VP9 is like the rest of the handguns on this list a high-capacity, twin-stack handgun with a steel slide and polymer frame. The VP9 carries up to fifteen rounds as many as a Glock 19.
The 9mm Luger, invented before the Great War, is one of the longest-serving gun calibers in history. Introduced in 1901, it has served in virtually every conflict since then up until today. From World War I’s German army to the British army fighting ISIS in Syria, the Luger round has served militaries for over a century. Despite its age, the 9mm is more dangerous than ever before, due to innovations in ammunition lethality that squeeze greater performance out of the bullet.
