France is feeling the shockwaves of the war in Gaza with a rise in Islamophobia and a wave of anti-Semitic attacks that have got the public and politicians worried. Also, bikers rev up to fight school bullying. And the African-American fighter pilot who flew for France in WWI because the US would not take him. The Israel-Hamas war has been imported into French society and politics, with the left unable to agree on how much to denounce Hamas, and the far right using the conflict to further bolster its support for Jews – an about-face for the party of Jean-Marie Le Pen, who famously dismissed the Nazi gas chambers as a "detail" of WWII. Nonna Mayer, a researcher at Sciences Po and the CNRS specialising in the far right, anti-Semitism and racism, talks about the rise in anti-Semitic attacks in France, why Marine Le Pen is championing Jews, and whether the left-wing coalition can survive its differences over the war in Gaza. (Listen @0')One in 10 kids in France will get bullied at school and after a recent series of teenage suicides, the government has rolled out a raft of measures to help prevent such tragedies. As part of national anti-bullying day, on 9 November, we look at the role members of U.B.A.K.A (Urban Bulldogs Against Kids' Abuse) are playing in the fight against school bullying. 76-year old Bernard Mignot, a biker and former bodyguard who set up the French chapter of U.B.A.K.A in Brittany in 2015, talks about going into schools to help kids open up and share bikers' values of respect for one another, and oneself.

Episode: 2656 An American in Paris: Eugene Bullard, Black hero in the jazz age. Today, an American in Paris.
Eugène Bullard „All blood runs red“ – „Alles Blut fließt rot“. New York, 1960. Im Wohnhaus beachtet kaum noch jemand den alten Fahrstuhlführer Eugene Bullard. Doch vor einigen Monaten bezeichnete ihn Präsident Charles de Gaulle als "wahren französischen Helden" und verlieh ihm den Orden der Ehrenlegion. All das hat ihm das Herz erwärmt, auch wenn der 65-jährige Afroamerikaner in den Augen seiner Landsleute ein völlig Unbekannter bleibt. Dabei war sein Leben alles andere als gewöhnlich! 1912 floh der junge Mann vor dem Elend und dem Rassismus im Amerika der Rassentrennung auf den alten Kontinent. Nach zahlreichen Gelegenheitsjobs wurde er schließlich Boxer. Und durch diesen Sport lernte er Frankreich kennen, das Land, das ihn seit seiner Kindheit so fasziniert hatte. Ein Land, in dem der Rassismus zwar präsent ist, aber Weiße und Schwarze nicht daran hindert, nebeneinander zu leben. Bullard ist in Paris, als der Krieg im Sommer 1914 ausbricht. Aus frankophilen Gründen tritt er in die Fremdenlegion ein. Er erlebt die Kämpfe im Artois und in der Champagne, bevor er sich Ende 1915 dem 170. RI anschließt. Er wurde in Verdun eingesetzt, wo er im März 1916 schwer verwundet wurde, als der Kampf um den Besitz des Dorfes Douaumont tobte. Obwohl Eugene durch seine Beinverletzung zum Teil invalide wurde, wollte er seiner Wahlheimat immer noch dienen. Er trat in den Flugdienst ein. Im Frühjahr 1917 ließ er sich zum Piloten ausbilden und kehrte einige Monate später in den Himmel über Verdun zurück. Auf dem Rumpf seines Flugzeugs ließ er die Aufschrift "All blood runs red" anbringen: "Alles Blut, das fließt, ist rot". Damit erinnerte er seine Freunde und Feinde daran, dass alle Menschen, unabhängig von ihrer Herkunft, im Angesicht des Todes gleich sind. Er schießt zwei Flugzeuge ab, aber seine Siege werden nicht anerkannt, da es keine Zeugen gibt. 1917 war auch das Jahr, in dem sein Heimatland dem Konflikt beitrat. Die US-Regierung forderte die Yankee-Flieger, die sich freiwillig in der französischen Armee gemeldet hatten, auf, in den Luftfahrtdienst von Onkel Sam einzutreten. Eugène Bullard entzog sich dieser Aufgabe nicht. Der für die Rekrutierung der Piloten zuständige Arzt, Dr. Gros, war jedoch dagegen. Er war der Meinung, dass ein Farbiger nicht in der Lage sein würde, ein Flugzeug zu fliegen, geschweige denn weiße Untergebene zu befehligen... Gros nutzte einen Zwischenfall zwischen Bullard und einem französischen Offizier aus und erteilte ihm ein endgültiges Flugverbot. Eugène beendete den Krieg im Hinterland der Front in Puy de Dôme. Als der Zweite Weltkrieg ausbricht, ist Eugène Bullard 45 Jahre alt. Er meldet sich erneut zum Dienst in der französischen Armee. Im Debakel des Frühjahrs 1940 wurde er im Departement Indre verwundet, konnte aber mit Hilfe des amerikanischen Konsulats in Bordeaux in die USA zurückkehren. Auf der anderen Seite des Atlantiks setzte er sich über die Organisation "France Forever" für das Freie Frankreich ein. Doch er fand wieder zu Gelegenheitsjobs zurück und wurde von der Rassentrennung und der rassistischen Gewalt eingeholt, vor der er in seiner Jugend geflohen war... Nach dem Ende des Konflikts entschied er sich dafür, in den USA zu bleiben, da seine beiden Töchter dort lebten. 1961 starb der alte Liftboy, der einst ein Kriegsheld war, in der allgemeinen Gleichgültigkeit. Er wurde in seiner Legionärskleidung auf dem französischen Veteranenfeld des Flushing-Friedhofs in Queen's beigesetzt. Erst 33 Jahre später wurde er von seinem Heimatland durch den damaligen Generalstabschef der US-Armee, Colin Powell, geehrt. Er ernannte Eugene Bullard posthum zum Unterleutnant, was ihm 1917 verwehrt worden war... #DestindeVerdun, un podcast écrit et produit par l'équipe du Mémorial de Verdun : Nicolas Czubak, Quentin Poulet und Charles Poisson Textadaption für Audio : Delphine Peresan-Roudil und Florence Guionneau-Joie Sprecher: Johannes Oliver Hamm Produktion: FGJ/Art Expo - Postproduktion: Plissken Production - Aufnahme: Hope So Production
President Joe Biden delivered his 2023 State of the Union address on Tuesday night. In this episode, Larry Elder shares an article titled “Six lies Biden will tell in his State of the Union” by Stephen Moore, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation who served as a senior economic adviser to Donald Trump. When Chris Licht took over CNN last year, he vowed to bring more ideological balance to the network and reverse its ratings slide. However, can he save CNN by keeping Don Lemon and Jake Tapper? Eddie Scarry, a media critic and commentary writer for the Washington Examiner, tells Larry Elder “No.” He says: “It's far too late for a ‘reckoning' of the Trump years. The corrupted news media are irredeemable. What they did beginning in 2017 and ever since isn't biased. It's dishonest. It's malicious. It's evil.” Have you heard of Congressman Robert Smalls? What about Eugene Bullard, the first African American fighter pilot? Washington Examiner writer Chris Tremoglie joins The Larry Elder Show and shares his articles written in Black History Month featuring black history's heroes.

In 1939, his father and another pilot, Dale White, were part of a pilot training program in Chicago. At that time, black pilots were denied the opportunity to fly for the military. Spencer and White flew on a 10-city tour intended to show Americans the skills of black pilots. They met with then-Senator Harry Truman who later was responsible for integrating the military.

Django Reinhardt was a Romani musician who, despite losing the use of two of his fingers was one of the most important musicians of his time. His contemporary and fellow Parisian was a man named Eugene Bullard. This American-born man would lead an unbelievable life as a boxer, musician, early black fighter pilot, and more.

Umfjöllunarefni þáttarins er maður að nafni Eugene Bullard. Hann var fæddur í suðurríkjum Bandaríkjanna árið 1895. Bullard var svartur á hörund og hann ákvað á barnsaldri að hann yrði að komast burt. Hann hafði heyrt föður sinn segja frá landi í Evrópu þar sem „litað“ fólk væri ekki ofsótt og myrt eins og var allt of algengt á heimaslóðum Bullards. Þangað ákvað Bullard að fara og við tók sérlega viðburðarík ævi. Saga Bullards er saga mótlætis og illsku en einnig af hugrekki og sigrum.
Eugene Bullard ran away from home in 1907 to seek his fortune in a more racially accepting Europe. There he led a life of staggering accomplishment, becoming by turns a prizefighter, a combat pilot, a nightclub impresario, and a spy. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell Bullard's impressive story, which won him resounding praise in his adopted France. We'll also accidentally go to Canada and puzzle over a deadly omission. Intro: The melody of Peter Cornelius' "Ein Ton" is a single repeated note.

"Bullard, son of an enslaved man and a Creek Indian woman, who escaped the racism of the American south, was in Paris with a pocketful of money. His dream was finally realized. Except it was 1914." Have you ever heard of Eugene Bullard? He was unrecognized even in his own time here in the United States, but the Black Sparrow lived many lifetime's worth of adventures in his 66 years. From runaway to two world wars, jazz drummer, Parisian nightclub owner and elevator operator, Eugene Bullard's story is one that should be remembered. Comments or Questions?

Today we're covering Eugene Bullard, the first black American pilot, he just had to do it for the French. Dude wrecked some serious shit in World War 2 and was given the nickname, "The Black Swallow of Death." Which sounds badass, except the unit he fought with was called "The Swallows of Death" so the Germans were just calling him the black one. Pretty fucked up. Anyways, dude lived a bonkers life and accomplished more than most people would with ten lives, and even his post-war time was crazy. Enjoy!

(Note: This interview first aired back in December.) Our guest is Phil Keith, the co-author of a remarkable biography titled "All Blood Runs Red: The Legendary Life of Eugene Bullard -- Boxer, Pilot, Soldier, Spy." As was noted of this compelling work in a starred review in Publishers Weekly: "This dazzling biography, drawing on the subject's unpublished memoir, explores the incredible life and times of the first African-American fighter pilot: Eugene 'Gene' Bullard. At 12, he ran away from Columbus, Ga., to escape the vicious racism of the early-20th-century South for France, the country revered by his formerly enslaved father. He crossed the Atlantic straight into minor fame as a boxer in Liverpool and Paris, and experienced partial freedom from the scorn and hatred of whites. In WWI, he joined the French Foreign Legion, fighting for his adopted homeland as a pilot. After a brief interwar interlude as a nightclub-band drummer, manager, and owner -- rubbing shoulders with the likes of

In doing research for other books, journalist Phil Keith, with his co-author Tom Clavin, kept coming across footnote references to a relatively obscure but legendary war hero, an American born in 1895 whose father had been the son of a former slave. Their interest was piqued, and what followed was further research. And a new collaboration, “All Blood Runs Red.” When still a child, Eugene Bullard ran away from his harsh rural roots, and though he never went beyond the second grade, he did go on to become as the records have it “the first Negro combat pilot in World War I,” a daredevil ace who was made a member of the French Foreign Legion. But there was more: Bullard was also a champion boxer, a jazz drummer and Parisian night club owner, where the busboy once was Langston Hughes. Bullard also became a French Resistance spy in World II and finally, back in the states, after that war, a civil rights advocate, getting beaten up in the Peekskill Race Riots in 1949 over the appearance of

While the vote was happening along party lines Wednesday night, the President was holding a campaign rally in Michigan where he said the Democrats: “Are declaring their deep hatred and disdain for the American voter. This lawless partisan impeachment is a political suicide march for the Democrat party. Have you seen my polls for the last four weeks?” So, what next? There's Wisdom in Tradition: Some Soups Can Help Fight off Malaria (22:59)Guest: Jake Baum, Professor of Cell Biology and Infectious Diseases at the Imperial College LondonThere's that saying about feeding a fever and starving a cold. Or maybe it's the other way around? For some reason lots of cultures have some sort of hot brothy soup that's fed to sick people. It was mainly just for comfort, I thought.

New Instagram Page Increasing Racial Representation for Medical Diagnoses (38:39)Guest: Ellen Weiss, Creator, “Brown Skin Matters” Instagram AccountIf your kid came to you with an unusual rash, you would probably google it first to see how serious it is before seeing a doctor. But if you're a parent of a child of color, the search results may be disappointing. Most images online show skin conditions only on white patients. Problem is that skin conditions can look very different from one race to another, so parents and doctors may not to recognize a serious problem. Ellen Weiss is a mom who's changing that –she started an Instagram account called Brown Skin Matters to that features skin conditions of all shades. Boxer, Pilot, Night Club Impresario, Soldier, Spy: The Incredible Life of Eugene Bullard (50:41)Guest: Phil Keith and Tom Clavin, Co-Authors of “All Blood Runs Red: The Legendary Life of Eugene Bullard –Boxer, Pilot, Soldier, Spy”He was the first African-American fighter pilot in history. He was also a boxer, a jazz drummer, and a Paris nightclub owner. He hung out with Josephine Baker, Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. He fought in both world wars and spied for the French Resistance. One man did all of that –his name was Eugene Bullard. And while he was a national hero and a celebrity on the streets of France, he was a nobody in America. When he came back to the states after World War II, he ended up as an elevator operator at Rockefeller Square. Just a chatty, older African American with a slight French accent wearing a couple of military-looking medals on his jacket. That's where a host for The Today Show discovered his story and Eugene Bullard finally got his fifteen minutes of fame in America on live TV. From start to finish, the life of Eugene Bullard seems like one long tall tale. How “The Wolf Whisperer” Trains Wolves for the Big Screen (1:25:40)Guest: Andrew Simpson, animal trainer, Instinct: Animals for FilmIt's a dark, winter-filled wood. A lone woman huddles by a fire. Her horse is skittish. Something's in the air. Something foreboding. She draws her sword and suddenly she's surrounded . . . by a pack of snarling wolves -white, black, grey. Fangs bared. And the giant leader of the pack steps up. The woman is doomed. Or is she? That's a scene from the HBO series Game of Thrones. And watching the clip the first time, I was sure the wolves for CGI. It's all some green screen film magic. But it turns out they're real and they belong to Andrew Simpson.

Edward Taylor III, 49, of Pickerington is an Ohio Army National Guard veteran of the 1990-91 Gulf War and served during the 2003-11 Iraq War with the Ohio Air National Guard, for which he still serves as a chief master sergeant. A Canton native, Taylor graduated from McKinley Senior High School and attended the University of Akron and Grantham University. He has been in the Ohio Air National Guard since 1999. He was promoted to senior master sergeant in 2012 and to chief master sergeant in May. He enlisted with the idea of becoming a pilot. “(My) family didn’t have a huge background in the military, ... but I do remember specifically both my grandfathers and my father back in the time, during World War II, black men were stereotyped as having flat feet,” he said. “If you had flat feet, some recruiters did not allow you to get in.” Both his grandfathers wanted to serve but weren’t able to, he said. His father also wanted to enlist but didn’t, he said. “Both my brothers and I – all three of us served, (as did) a couple cousins. ... Not a huge military family, but definitely, it’s been a big part of the Taylor family.” Taylor said he admired the Tuskegee Airmen, African American military pilots who had fought during WWII. He said he had taken an African American studies class at Akron, and he learned about such notable African American military pioneers as Eugene Bullard, a pilot who had served in the French military during World War I because he wasn’t allowed to serve in the U.S. military. He knew of Benjamin O. Davis Jr., a West Point graduate and son of a brigadier general who became the first African American general in the U.S. Air Force. And he was well aware of Daniel “Chappie” James Jr., who became the first African American four-star general in 1975. “Once I became familiar with their names and their stories, (I) definitely became a huge fan of their careers and wanted to emulate them,” he said. He didn’t get his pilot license, but he said he found that he really enjoyed the maintenance side of aviation more. “I enjoyed thoroughly aircraft maintenance,” he said. “I still had the chance to fly, you know, on the aircraft ... which was still a wonderful thing – a huge treat, not something everybody can say that they do. ... Being an 18-, 19-year-old kid learning how to fix and maintain a $60 million aircraft is not something that everybody does every day.” He was an armament mechanic on Bell AH-1 Cobra helicopters during Gulf War operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm in 1990 and 1991. Before shipping out, he said, “I really wasn’t worried because I didn’t know what to expect.” He was on duty with the Air National Guard, working in a hangar, the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. Even before the second plane hit the World Trade Center, Taylor said he and his fellow airmen knew it was a deliberate attack. They knew jet aircraft were equipped with a terrain-collision-avoidance system, which keeps aircraft clear of ground obstacles, and the crash could not have been by chance. “We all kind of stopped in our tracks” to watch the news coverage, he recalled, and one airman said, “That’s it. We’re going to war, boys.” Camaraderie is a necessity for military personnel during a deployment, he said. “We have to foster that camaraderie so that we can make it because we’re all human beings. ... I’ve seen young men get their ‘Dear John’ letters. I’ve seen young ladies who just gave birth two months prior and now they’re (deployed) for six months,” he said. Members of the military get very close, he said, and he knows he always will maintain contact with those he served beside. Taylor served overseas in Bahrain, Qatar, Afghanistan, United Arab Emirates and Turkey. In those countries, he saw happy reunions of the local population at airports and realized “they’re just the same as you and I. ... They’re still human beings with emotion. ... All they want to do is love their people and be left alone, similar to the way a lot of us are. ... We’re all just people.” He said he particularly enjoyed being a customer in small shops in Turkey, where the locals wanted to socialize with tea before getting down to business. But once they got to know you, they were ready to sell their goods, he said. Conversely, he said, Bahrain wasn’t as welcoming. “When the king or prince would fly on their jet, we had to go in the house ... go into the hangars or the buildings or whatever because he didn’t want to see us,” he said. Taylor described the Air National Guard as a peacetime organization that effectively accomplished a wartime mission, he said. In all of the guard’s missions, he said, the troops ultimately are serving their own communities. “Whatever our role is, we’re taking care of home,” he said. Taylor suggested veterans adjusting to civilian life “use the foundation of your military training and experience to look at a new challenge. ... Civilian life can be a new challenge.” “If you’re having a struggle, go find other folks who have been out for a while,” he said, like veterans in the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. “Take the time to find your purpose in life.” Taylor was the avionics superintendent of the 121st Air Refueling Wing at the Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base in Columbus before being promoted to aircraft-maintenance-squadron branch chief. His team maintains avionics on Boeing KC-135 Stratotankers, aerial-refueling aircraft. Taylor said most of the aircraft are at least 50 years old and have to be retrofitted with modern technology. “It becomes real stressful when you think that the majority of the aircraft that we fly – the KC-135 – were developed in the ’50s and built in the late ’50s and early ’60s,” he said. “Think about having an aircraft that’s already 56 years old, putting 2019 technology inside of that and expecting it to fly a mission – and it does eloquently ... thanks to the young men and women that are able to train, maintain that aircraft on a daily basis.” Married and a father of four, his decorations include the Meritorious Service Medal Air Force Commendation Medal with one device, the Air Force Achievement Medal with two devices and a Meritorious Unit Award. State awards include the Ohio Commendation Medal with one device and the Ohio National Guard Special Service Ribbon. Taylor gave the keynote address for the Canal Winchester Veterans Day observance in November.

I’m Theo Mayer - the Chief Technologist for the Commission and your host. Welcome to the show. [MUSIC] Preface This week’s focus is on the War in The Sky. You’ll learn about some new action up there, the death of one of the most prominent aces of the era, new educational materials arriving this week for teachers about the WWI air war, and a story about the tech that kept pilots from shooting off their propellers as they engaged the enemy. But first… as we jump into our centennial time machine and go back 100 years this week - we are going to start -- not in the sky but with a mysterious story about the war on the seas and also Germany’s claims about the success of their u-boats! [SOUND EFFECT] [TRANSITION] World War One THEN 100 Year Ago This Week It’s the middle of April 1918 and in the pages of the Official Bulletin, the government’s daily war gazette, published for President Wilson by George Creel, his propaganda chief -- this week we find articles of a missing ship - A big one ! [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline: Monday April 15, 1918 The headline in the bulletin reads: Naval Collier Cyclops Overdue Since March 13 at Atlantic Port; Left West Indies. Personnel on Board Consisted of 15 Officers, 221 Men of Crew, and 57 Passengers - Searched for, by Radio and Ships, But No Trace is to Be Found. An the story reads: The U. S. S. Cyclops, a navy collier of 19,000 tons displacement, loaded with a cargo of manganese, is overdue at an Atlantic port. She last reported at one of the West Indian Islands on March 4, and since her departure from that port no trace of her nor any information concerning her has been obtained. Radio calls to the Cyclops from all possible points have been made and vessels sent to search for her along her probable route and areas in which she might be - all with no success. Weather Has Not Been Bad. A Collier is a Coal Carrier and The Cyclops is a massive one. She is 540 feet long and 65 feet wide. It is so big it is often referred to as a “floating coal mine,” The ship should have been docked in the waters off Baltimore after she was sent to Brazil to pick up a load of manganese. Now, manganese is pretty valuable stuff right now. It is a mineral of great strategic importance to the war and used in the production of both iron and steel. In fact the lack of this mineral is a major problem facing the German steel makers and iron makers and the Cyclops had just picked up a 12,000 ton load of it. Nothing from the ship will be found. No wreckage, oil slicks or debris. Not even a distress call. And speculation will rage throughout history, leading to wild theories involving everything from a mutiny and a secret sale to the Germans, sinking by U-boats near Puerto Rico and even giant skids dragging her under. The mystery of the USS Cyclop will span a century without resolution. There is also news this week about the war UNDER the sea [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline: Tuesday, APRIL 16, 1918 The headline in the NY Times reads: CREW OF U-85 HERE ARE PRISONERS - THIRTY-EIGHT GERMANS CAPTURED BY DESTROYER FANNING, TO BE INTERNED IN GEORGIA Captain Lieutenant Amberger, the German commander of the craft, which was sunk last november heads the party. And the story reads: Franklin D. Roosevelt acting Secretary of the Navy has given out tonight the names of the German prisoner of the submarine u-38. When the craft was wrecked by a depth bomb dropped by the Destroyer Fanning, on November 17 last, the crew of the Fanning picked up several life buoys which bore on one side the word "kaiser" and on the other the word "Got". The prisoners were taken to an English port and turned over to British authorities. By agreement between the British, the US Navy and the US Army the prisoners are being taken to Camp McPherson near Atlanta Georgia. Meanwhile another article this week presents the claims of the German Commander of the Navy that U-boats are winning the war on the sea. [SOUND EFFECT] Dateline: Amsterdam - April 18, 1918 A headline in the NY Times reads: CAPELLE ASSERTS U-BOATS IS WINNING Tells Reichstag Three to Six times as Many Ships Are Sunk as Are Built. AMERICAN DESTROYERS FAIL CONVOYS ALSO A FAILURE And the story reads: Vice Admiral Von Capelle, German Minister of the Navy, discussing submarine warefare before the main Committee of the Reichstag delcared that the new U-Boat construction exceeded the losses and that the effectiveness of the submarines had increased. The Minister declared that the American Destroyers, "Which had been so much talked about" had failed in their objective. Admiral von Capelle described as a base lie the statement made by Sir Eric Geddes, First lord of the British admiralty, that German U-boat crews were unwilling to put to sea and that claims by British statesmen that there had been extraordinarily big losses of U-boats were grealy exagerated.

Mike: Your post last week ended on a note of the American troops moving to the front and Ed Lengel followed with the hard lessons the Yankee division received as they engaged in Seicheprey. This week, you continue with the incredible challenges the Americans face - not from the courage or spirit of the fighting men, but from the lack of experience of the American field commanders - few of whom have had any actual battle command and they are facing the desperate fierceness of the enemy. What is the next chapter of the story Mike? [MIKE POST] Mike Shuster from the Great War Project blog. The links to Mike Shuster’s Great War Project blog are in the podcast notes.

This week, Ed introduces us to the 2nd Division - a mix of army and Marine brigades, interesting leadership, and a destiny to play key roles in the upcoming battles of the war. These are army soldiers and marines learning to fight an enemy determined to understand them, devastate them and destroy them… but this time the doughboys turn the tables.. Of course we, the audience, already know the outcome of the war. The American eventually figure it out and prevail… but the lessons continue to hurt! [ED LENGEL] [MUSIC TRANSITION] Dr. Edward Lengel is an American military historian, author, and our segment host for America Emerges: Military Stories from WWI. There are links in the podcast notes to Ed’s post and his web sites as an author.

This week - 100 years ago -- Two U.S. Army Air corps pilots of the First Aero Squadron shoot down two enemy German planes over the Allied Squadron Aerodome in France. The encounter as lightning fast; just six minutes after the front line signaled that German airplanes were crossing the American trenches and heading towards the aerodome, Lieutenant A.S. Winslow of Chicago and Lieutenant Douglas Campbell of California had brought two enemy aviators down. It was the first U.S. Army Air corps dogfight in history. One of the German planes was set on fire, and the other was knocked out but landed pretty much undamaged -- and their German pilots taken prisoner. Both American aviators eventually received the Croix de Guerre, and Lt. Campbell, went on to shoot down five enemy aircraft, making him the first U.S. flying ace. As the Americans rose to the challenge this week, the great Red Baron fell. On April 21st, German ace Manfred von Richthofen, a living legend called the "Red Baron" and "ace of aces," was shot down and killed in aerial combat. By the time of his death, he had accrued 80 victories. Credit for his kill was given at the time to Canadian Captain Roy Brown. During the fateful scrap, the Red Baron's cousin Lt. Wolfram von Richthofen was being fired upon when the Red Baron flew to his rescue and fired on the attacker, saving Wolfram's life. Richthofen pursued the enemy across the Somme where he was spotted and briefly attacked by a Camel piloted by Canadian Captain Roy Brown. At the time, it seems a single bullet hit Richthofen in the chest, causing a quick death. But-- who exactly killed the Red Baron is up for debate. Current evidence is that he was killed by ground fire from Australian troops -- but there are many theories. No matter who was the one to take him down, RIchthofen left behind a legacy of true aerial mastery and terror. His victory total will not be exceeded until June 1941.

Remembering Veterans Midway Village Reenactment For Remembering Veterans -- We are going to do a follow up on the big reenactor event in Rockford Illinois we told you about a couple of weeks ago. The Midway Village Museum is a 137 acre living history park, and the host of the 6th annual Great War event, that featured over 225 re-enactors portraying soldiers and civilians from the United States and Europe. It’s the nation’s largest public WW1 re-enactment -- and a massive undertaking! If you were there - you had a blast - if you weren’t there - we will point you to great pictures and videos - AND… we have invited Dave Fornell, the reenactor coordinator for the event and member of the Illinois WWI Centennial Commission to tell us the story. Welcome, Dave! [greetings] [Dave -- there are three things I’d like to touch on today… The event and the experience of attending it -- Reenactors and the reenactor community at large And third - future plans] [Let’s start with the 6th Annual Great war event - how did it go! How many people showed up and what kind of comments did you get?] [So Dave - I am personally totally fascinated by the reenactor phenomena --- here is my chance to ask about it.. So…. you are a WWI reenactor - Why? ] [Are you only WWI? I mean… do reenactors specialize in a specific historical period? - or is it more of a chronic avocation - Are reenactors organized? By historical period or by regional area? And based on a conversation I had with Katherine about this - what about women in this community?] [Finally - are there plans for a 2019 Midway Village Great War event?] [goodbyes/thanks] Dave Fornell is the re-enactor coordinator for the Midway Village Museum WWI reenactment and a member of the Illinois WWI Centennial Commission.

Although the classic periodical was originally produced by Union Soldiers in the Civil War, when they found an abandoned printing press - they only ran 6 one-page issues at the time. The publication was revived for World War 1, produced by an all-military staff and aimed directly at the doughboys of the American Expeditionary Forces. Stars and Stripes is filled with cartoons and articles by and for doughboys, making light of everything from living covered in lice in the trenches to struggling to communicate with their new “Francai” comrades. We reported on the relaunch in Episode #59 and ever since, we have been looking forward to the opportunity of inviting someone from the paper to come on the show and tell us more about it. So I am especially excited to welcome Robert H. Reid, senior managing editor of the Stars and Stripes newspaper. Robert - so nice to have you on the show! [welcome/greetings] [OK - first of all - Robert for our listeners - We need a context - could you briefly frame up what the Stars and stripes paper is? ] [When we saw in our research that the paper had re-emerged for the doughboys arriving in france --- we quickly started to read through issues - and what struck me immediately was the humor… tongue in cheek, irreverent, good natured, and wry -- How did that happen!? Was that planned or just what happened?] [Clearly the AEF decided they wanted this…. Do we know how the papers ROLE was framed by the command in 1918? Did it have a mission statement?] [Full disclosure - I grew up with the paper and the people who made it in post WWII Germany. We lived as Americans near frankfurt in the early 50’s and my mom wrote for the paper…. So here we are today in the THIRD generation of the paper’s life - What is the Stars and Stripes today?] [goodbyes/thank you] Robert Reid is the senior managing editor of Stars and Stripes. You can learn more about the paper, and see archival copies at the Library of Congress, by following the links in the podcast notes. link:https://www.loc.gov/collections/stars-and-stripes/?sb=date https://www.stripes.com/ The Great Forgotten To wrap up Spotlight in the Media this week -- we’re turning the focus back onto the service of women in the war with the play The Great Forgotten. Set during WWI and through the Roaring Twenties, the play follows two sisters --- American nurses in France during WW1, and their adjustment to a whole new world after the end of the conflict. This segment actually kicks off a conversation that will become ever more important on the podcast… looking at the profound post-war experience in America With us to tell us about their original production are mother-daughter playwriting team Karen and Kacie Devaney. Welcome! [welcome/greetings} [Kacie -- the play was initially your idea, and you ended up getting your mother involved. Tell us about that? ] [Karen -- The two main characters embody the experience of so many women who served in the war -- Did you base the characters on real individuals?] [Back to you Kacie -- This is obviously a real passion project for you -- why do you think the stories of these women in, and after, WW1 matter so much?] [A quick one phrase answer from each of you… In a phrase - what was the biggest realization for you personally in doing this project?] [In closing - are you going to be performing the play again soon?] [goodbyes/thank you] Karen and Kacie Devaney are a mother daughter playwriting team.

But one feature stood out -- and was a highly coveted tactical position. Low, grey structures dotting the muddy landscape-- the Germans began constructing these steel-reinforced concrete bunkers in order to enhance their defenses against British artillery on the Hindenburg Line. With walls and ceilings several feet thick, the bunkers could easily withstand all but the highest caliber shells, and were often obscured with debris to prevent detection. They were built most often in the Ypres salient, where a high rainfall and water table made trenches an near-impossibility. As the British and Commonwealth troops stared out at these little buildings in the moon like world of Flanders-- they noted their similarity to the small medicine boxes carried by civilians -- earning the structures the name of “pillbox” - which is our speaking world war I word this week. Nowadays, according to the Department of Defense - the word defines small, low fortified outpost that houses machine guns and anti-tank weapons… or that thing you carry your meds and vitamins in! Pillboxes -- created by the Germans, and named by the British-- and this week’s word for speaking WW1.

Link: www.ww1cc.org/edu WW1 War Tech Interrupter Gear This week for WW1 War Tech -- we’re headed back into the Sky to take a look at a technological development that helped usher in the age of the aerial dogfighting. Early in the war, planes were used exclusively for observation -- but to get clear images of the enemy lines, you had to fly “low and slow” and in a fairly straight line, which left you pretty easy pickings if an enemy plane with a gun came along. This started an arms race in the sky as each side tried to outgun the other --- in order to protect their observation planes. The first attempt to mount a machine gun on an airplane, ended after the nose-heavy prototype crashed on its first experimental flight. Some guns were mounted and shot over the wings, and “pusher planes” with their props behind the pilot were developed, allowing for them to shoot ahead of themselves without hitting the blades of the propellers. Dutch aircraft designer Anthony Fokker came up with the ultimate answer for the Germans! His mechanism, referred to as the interrupter gear, connected the firing of the machine gun to the turning of the propeller, allowing the bullets to pass through the brief gaps in between the blades. Yet despite the tests on both the ground and the air proving his design worked, German generals remained skeptical. They demanded that Fokker fly into the air and shoot down an enemy plane himself. He did as he was told, and although a French plane soon came within his sights, he found himself unable to pull the trigger. Fokker returned to Douai flying field to vocalize his refusal, demanding that someone else test the plane instead. And so the famous Lieutenant Oswald Boelcke was the first pilot to successfully use the interrupter gear, making his first kill on August 1, 1915. German planes would continue to dominate the skies, a phenomenon known as the ‘Fokker Scourge’, until mid-1916. The interrupter gear-- a technological marvel that brought air combat into the future-- and the subject of this week’s WW1 War Tech. We have put links in the podcast notes to learn more including a link a video from the YoutUbe channel The Slow Mo Guys where you can watch an interrupter gear operate in very, very slow motion.

Famous Fighters, the Friends of Jenny and Barbara Bush Hi Theo -- Last week we talked a lot about the Liberty Loans-- and during the third loan drive, celebrities were drafted to help hype the program as they traveled across the country, including the movie stars Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford and Charlie Chaplin. But they aren’t the only darlings of the silver screen that helped the war effort -- and this week on our Facebook page at facebook.com/ww1centennial-- we shared photographs and draft registrations cards of two other familiar faces. Buster Keaton, known to the army by his given name, Joseph, was assigned to the 40th Division, 159th Infantry-- a division that did not wholly see battle but did serve on the Western Front. There’s also Walt Disney-- who was just 16 years old when he joined the American Red Cross and arrived in France as a paramedic, serving near Neufchateau. You can see photos of them by following the links in the podcast notes. Two more nods from the Buzz-- this week, the Friends of Jenny, a historical aviation restoration group, shared an album of images updating us on the progress of one of their major restoration projects -- their Curtiss Jenny rebuild is receiving its new engine! Check it out at the link in the notes, and follow their facebook page as the project continues to pick up speed. Finally this week, the nation was sad to hear of the passing of former First Lady, Barbara Bush. But you may not know that she was the daughter of a World War One Veteran-- her father, Marvin Pierce, enlisted in the US Army Reserves in 1918, was promoted to Lieutenant and served as an Engineering Corps officer in France from September 1918 to May 1919. Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones, and you can read more about her long and storied life at the links in the podcast notes. That’s it for this week in the Buzz.

In "All Blood Runs Red Part III", we tell the story of Bullard's escape from war torn France to Spain and then Portugal, where, suffering from wounds and exhaustion, he is placed upon a ship bound for New York. Upon reaching New York, he reunites with other veterans of the war, his daughters are returned, he visits the south of his boyhood only to find it hasn't changed- finding his older brother has been lynched.

Stand in front of the Eugene Jacques Bullard exhibit in the Early Years Gallery. In August of 1917 Eugene Jacques Bullard, an American volunteer in the French army, became the first black military pilot in history and the only black pilot in World War I. After completing flight training, Bullard joined the 200 other Americans in the Lafayette Flying Corps, and he flew combat missions from Aug. 27 to Nov. 11, 1917. He distinguished himself in aerial combat, as he had on the ground, and was officially credited with shooting down one German aircraft. On Oct. 13, 1961, Eugene Bullard died and was buried with full military honors in his legionnaire’s uniform in the cemetery of the Federation of French War Veterans in Flushing, New York. On Sept. 14, 1994, the secretary of the Air Force posthumously appointed him a second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. The museum’s exhibit features several of Bullard’s medals and personal pins.
