Easton flag stirred debate over 1814 war symbolism
The article argues the Easton flag, tied to the Revolutionary era, was used in 1814 due to time constraints and not as a new emblem. Efforts by the Northampton County Historical and Genealogical Society for official recognition failed, though the flag has been displayed since 1926 and is now common in Easton on public occasions. Also notes seven thousand women bus conductors in London.

Planes Over The Pacific Air Strength Rising In Pacific War
Louis Keemle argues Allied air power is accelerating in the Southwest Pacific. He notes a 2400 mile Liberator raid on Soerabaja Java alongside attacks on New Guinea and the Central Solomons, with Japanese losses mounting and replacement capacity strained. He contrasts US production and fleet strength with Japanese limits and calls for momentum as Italy and Hitler fall, then cites accident causes from stalls due to loss of speed in steep climbs.
