Remember the Gary Cooper film, "The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell," as a kid. Good/recommended old movie. Appreciate the continuing history posts. Thanks.

Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for making us aware that on July 21, 1921 US Amy Air Force Colonel William "Billy" Mitchell demonstrated how bombs from planes could sink the captured German battleship Ostfriesland. 'He and his unit sank the famous, "unsinkable," Ostfriesland, a captured German battleship.'
