International Ice Patrol - 1948. When Coast Guard planes on International Ice Patrol run into fog, and that is the usual thing after May 1st in the Grand Banks area, radar is used for spotting and plotting the position of icebergs. Peering into the radar scope, this man searches for bergs - his findings will be reported to the Coast Guard cutter on patrol for investigation and to the Ice Patrol Office at Argentia, Newfoundland for charting and broadcast. Combined air and surface operations and the effective use of radar and loran by Coast Guard patrol units contributed to the success of the 1948 International Ice Patrol. It was the mission of the 1948 patrol to locate and report ice conditions constituting a menace to navigation, to determine set and drift of icebergs, to collect weather information and surface and sub-surface oceanographic data, and to keep all interested parties and commercial shipping informed thereof. The importance to mariners of "ice broadcasts" is evidenced by t

Rosie the Riveter' is a cultural icon of the United States representing the American women who worked in factories during World War II; many worked in manufacturing plants that produced munitions and war supplies.

The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, commonly known as the Cultural Revolution (Chinese: 化大革命), was a socio-political movement that took place in the People's Republic of China from 1966 through 1976. Set into motion by Mao Zedong, then Chairman of the Communist Party of China, its stated goal was to enforce socialism in the country by removing capitalist, traditional and cultural elements from Chinese society, and impose Maoist orthodoxy within the Party. The revolution marked the return of Mao Zedong to a position of political power, after he lost most of his political influence after his failed Great Leap Forward. Using only his name and credibility, he used the controlled anarchy of the cultural revolution to remove his inner-party opponents, most notably China`s president Liu Shaoqi. The movement brought chaos, as social norms largely evaporated and the previously established political institutions disintegrated at all levels of government. The Revolution was launched in Ma
