FAMOUS EVENTS
Glass-blowing machine patented in U.S. (1895).
Tower Commission report on Iran-Contra affair issued (1987).
Nazi leader Adolf Hitler signs a secret decree authorizing the founding of the Reich Luftwaffe as a third German military service to join the Reich army and navy. In the same decree, Hitler appointed Hermann Goering, a German air hero from World War I and high-ranking Nazi, as commander in chief of the new German air force (1935).
From Carswell Air Force Base in Fort Worth, Texas, the Lucky Lady II, a B-50 Superfortress, takes off on the first nonstop round-the-world flight. Under the command of Captain James Gallagher, and featuring a crew of 14 men, the aircraft averaged 249 miles per hour on its 23,452-mile trek. The Lucky Lady II was refueled four times in the air by B-29 tanker planes and on March 2 returned to the United States after 94 hours in the air (1946).
The last U.S. Marines sent to Lebanon as part of a multinational peacekeeping force leave Beirut, the war-torn Lebanese capital where some 250 of the original 800 Marines lost their lives during the problem-plagued 18-month mission (1984).
The last radio episode of Dragnet airs(1957).
Joan Fontaine wins Best Actress for her performance in Alfred Hitchcock's Suspicion. Fontaine had been performing since the mid-1930s, but she didn't become a star until she caught Hitchcock's notice, and he cast her in his first U.S. film, Rebecca (1940). Her role in Suspicion also won her the New York Film Critics Award (1942).
Author and poet Robert Penn Warren dies at age 84. His Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, All the King's Men, was made into a movie in 1949. The movie swept the Academy Awards, winning Best Picture, Best Actor (for star Broderick Crawford), and Best Supporting Actress (for Mercedes McCambridge) (1986).
The first long-distance call over underground cables took place between Boston, Massachusetts, and Washington, D.C. (1914).
Radar was installed on the flagship New York. The following year, the first battleship to be equipped with radar was put into service. Radar would be tremendously important during World War II in the detection of submarines and airplanes (1938).
