 interesting
the A-36 Apache was essentially an early model P-51 Mustang fitted with two dive brakes on each wing.
but why did North American turn the P-51 into a dive-bomber?
The A-36 Apache dove at speeds approaching 500 mph, and
during one test, an airplane lost its wings during a dive.

Happy Halloween

The Jack-o-Lantern

Can't vouch for the accuracy , but it's as good story as any

 

Did You Know
 

The origin of Jack-O-Lanterns comes from a Celtic Folktale of a stingy farmer named Jack who would constantly play tricks on the devil. The devil responded by forcing him to wander purgatory with only a burning lump of coal from hell. ( for light) Jack took the lump and made a lantern from a turnip, using it to guide his lost soul.
    The myth was brought over by the Irish families fleeing the potato  famine in the 1800's and since turnips were hard to come by in the U.S., America's pumpkins were used as a substitute to guide lost souls and keep evil spirits like " Jack of the Lantern " away
