Today in history

Here are just some of the events on this date in the past.

•	On this day in 1928: American aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean as a passenger. Earhart later became the first woman – and the second person – to pilot an aircraft nonstop and solo across the Atlantic in 1932.
•	In 1945: New York native William Joyce, a fascist broadcaster known as “Lord Haw-Haw” who early on moved to Ireland then defected to Germany just before World War II, was charged with treason after Victory in Europe Day for his pro-Nazi propaganda over the U.K. airwaves that was heard by millions. After conviction, Joyce died by hanging in prison in January 1946.
•	In 1948: Columbia Records released the first 33 1/3-RPM vinyl record that became the industry standard. The first LP, initially a Columbia trademark, was early Romantic composer Felix Mendelssohn’s “Violin Concerto in E Minor.”
•	In 1981: The U.S. Air Force made the maiden flight of the F-117 Nighthawk, the world’s first operational stealth aircraft, designed to evade radar. The Air Force first used the Lockheed-made fighter jet for combat in Panama eight years later, and the aircraft were widely successful in missions during the Gulf War of 1990-91.
•	In 1983: NASA astronaut Sally Ride became the first American woman in space for a six-day mission that included her and four Space Shuttle Challenger STS-7 crewmates deploying two satellites and performing multiple science experiments.
•	In 2006: The Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori became the first female bishop to lead the U.S. Episcopal Church.
