Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - Space Ghost: The Return of the X-37B, Part I

Headlines From The Times - Why the U.S. clamps down on rail strikes

Host: Gustavo Arellano

Guests: University of Rhode Island history professor Erik Loomis

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Red Baron

The First World War saw many innovations in warfare. Probably the most significant was the introduction of aircraft. 

The first military pilots didn’t really know what they were doing. There was no rulebook about how to fight with other aircraft.
