  • USS Cyclops Vanishes in Mysterious Circumstances The US naval collier USS Cyclops, a massive cargo ship, mysteriously disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle without a trace, becoming one of the most famous maritime mysteries in naval history. The vessel was last known to be sailing from Barbados to Baltimore, but no distress signals were ever received, and no wreckage was ever found.

  • Founding of the Finnish Air Force The Finnish Air Force was officially established, marking a significant milestone in Finland's military aviation history. Interestingly, the force initially adopted a blue swastika as its symbol, not as a Nazi emblem, but as a personal tribute to Swedish explorer and aviator Eric von Rosen, who donated the first aircraft. Von Rosen had originally painted the Buddhist good luck symbol on the plane as his personal insignia, which was later incorporated into the Finnish Air Force's early heraldry.
