You've already heard about the first Civil War battle between the ironclad warships the Monitor and the Merrimac, and about why Custer's last stand was, well, his last, but have you heard about the incredibly fast and maneuverable airship Dr. Solomon Andrews, which was offered to the government during the Civil War?

Battles from the ancient world and the alleged superiority of Western nations from the earliest times.
The famed myth of the English longbow.
The introduction of submarines to warfare prior to World War I.
The deadliest American air raids of World War II.
