"Sweet Rosie O'Grady". Battle-Damaged, But "Alone No More". Two Spitfires Escort Her Home To England. "Welcome Home, Yank".
Text and Illustration: GREENWICH WORKSHOP
"Sweet Rosie O'Grady" was a B-17G-5-VE. She flew with the 427th Squadron, 303rd Bomb Group, First Air Division, 41st Combat Bomb Wing, 8th Air Force, out of Molesworth, England. This B-17 flew 124 missions, more than any other aircraft in the unit.
She is shown battle-damaged, returning from a mission. She'd dropped behind in formation and was alone in the vast European skies - one of the things most feared by bomber crews, because then they became easy prey for the fighters of the Third Reich.
Playing on the same theme shown in "Welcome Home, Yank," Rosie is joined by some Spitfires, two Mark IX's of the 241st Squadron who will escort her home to England. Rosie and her crew are "Alone No More."

On 27 January 1281, Gertrude being then just over twenty-five, the Spouse of her Soul revealed Himself to her in a wonderful manner. He consoled her in a trial which tormented her, and favoured her with remarkable visions during the following eight years.
At God's command, she related them in a book, entitled "Revelations of Saint Gertrude".

Gertrude, holding in her hand her lighted lamp, awaited the coming of her Spouse. "She died," says The Roman Breviary, "in 1334, consumed rather by the ardour of her love than by disease."
She was proclaimed Patroness of The West Indies, and in New Mexico a town was built in her honour and still bears her name.

Born in Swabia, Bavaria, Germany, circa 1200, Albert, even as a child, loved The Blessed Virgin in a special manner. He resolved to enter The Order of Saint Dominic, but, tempted by the devil, he gave up the idea.
Ultimately, however, at the earnest entreaty, and through the ardent Prayers, of Blessed Jourdan of Saxony, he resolved definitely to enter The Order of Saint Dominic. He studied Philosophy at Cologne, then at Paris, where he became one of the most renowned Professors of the University.
Saint Thomas Aquinas was one of his students. He was made Bishop of Ratisbon (Regensburg) by Pope Urban IV and defended The Church against the errors of Guillaume de Saint-Amour and died at Cologne in 1280.
He was Canonised and proclaimed Doctor of The Church in 1931.

The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopaedia.
Albertus Magnus, O.P. (circa 1200 – 15 November 1280), also known as Albert the Great, and Albert of Cologne, is a Catholic Saint. He was a German Dominican Friar and a Catholic Bishop. He was known during his lifetime as "Doctor Universalis" and "Doctor Expertus", and, late in his life, the term "Magnus" (Great) was appended to his name.
Scholars, such as James A. Weisheipl and Joachim R. Söder, have referred to him as the greatest German Philosopher and Theologian of The Middle Ages. The Catholic Church honours him as a Doctor of The Church, one of only thirty-six persons so honoured.

The Super Chief was one of the named Passenger Trains and the Flagship of The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. It claimed to be "The Train of the Stars", because of the celebrities it carried between Chicago, Illinois, and Los Angeles, California.
in America, and it eclipsed "The Chief" as Santa Fe's Standard Bearer. The extra-fare ($10)
Super Chief left Dearborn Station in Chicago for its first trip on 12 May 1936. Before starting scheduled service in May 1937, the lightweight version of The Super Chief ran 2,227 miles (3,584 km) from Los Angeles over recently-upgraded tracks in 36 hours and 49 minutes, averaging 60 mph (97 km/h) overall and reaching 100 mph (160 km/h).
With one set of equipment, the Train initially operated once a week from both Chicago
and Los Angeles. After more Cars had been delivered, The Super Chief ran twice weekly,
beginning in 1938, and daily, after 1948. Adding to the Train's mystique were its
gourmet meals and Hollywood clientele.

Competitors to The Super Chief were The City of Los Angeles, on The Chicago and North Western Railway and The Union Pacific Railroad, and (to a lesser extent) The Golden State, on The Rock Island and Southern Pacific. The Santa Fe Super Chief was one of the last Passenger Trains in The United States to carry an all-Pullman consist; only The Pennsylvania Railroad's Broadway Limited and The Illinois Central's Panama Limited survived longer. The Train maintained its high level of service until the end of Santa Fe Passenger Operations on 1 May 1971.
When Amtrak took over operation of the Nation's Passenger Service on 1 May 1971, the 35-year run of The Super Chief on The Santa Fe ended, though Amtrak used the name on the same route for three years. In 1974,The Santa Fe withdrew permission to use the name, due to a perceived decline in service, so Amtrak renamed it Southwest Limited. Following the delivery of new Superliner equipment, The Santa Fe allowed Amtrak to call it The Southwest Chief, in 1984.
