September the 14th, now we are going back to 1944 but before that, let me just pose a question: Who has the effrontery to fly right into the the eye of a hurricane? Am told many do today…but its scary. In 1944, a three man crew flying a Douglas A-20 Havoc was the first to do it. That was just so courageous! It is a light bomber and the last one was also rolled out of the factory in 1944. The achievement was very instrumental in gathering of scientific data and provided a solid foundation for other major breakthroughs that are there today. Note however, that this aircraft is a millitary fighter that was used in WWII. More details can be found in this link.
