Prized Italian Ships Damaged In Air Attack
The Roma and the Augustus, two large Italian trans Atlantic liners, were severely damaged in RAF raids on Genoa in October. The Roma, once a famed New York visitor, was being converted into an aircraft carrier and could carry 1,200 passengers. The Augustus, sailing between Italy and Argentina, sustained heavy damage with a split funnel and fire damaged upper deck, possibly beyond repair.

How the War Tank Got Its Name and Oddities
Maj Paul Raborg explains in Mechanized Might how the tank name originated from British wartime secrecy. Workers were told machines would carry water in Egypt, records labeled water carrier, and the shorthand tank stuck globally. The piece also notes Goebbels antipatterns and a typographical error in the New York World linking obituaries to shipping.
