William J. Cullerton Sr. and ‘Miss Steve’
Bill Cullerton was born on June 2nd, 1923, in Chicago to a well-off family from Oak Park, Illinois. Oak Park is now part of Greater Chicago. It is home to several notable landmarks, including the birthplace of writer, journalist, and Nobel Prize winner Ernest Hemingway. The city also still has a number of buildings designed by the famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who lived and worked here for two decades in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His architectural studio is now a museum and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

How I Came to Meet Enstrom….
In January 2017, I took up the position of Director of the Pardubice Flight Training Center of the state-owned company LOM PRAHA. When the director of LOM offered me this position at the time, the main reason gave rise to the possibility that, after eight years with the air ambulance service, I would again fly the Mi-24 These beasts were undergoing general overhaul at LOM and this was always followed by the obligatory test flight. I had experience with this type of work and was looking forward to it.

Algerian Air Force
Algeria is a country located in the northern part of the African continent, on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, and by size it is the largest country in Africa. To the east it borders Tunisia and Libya, to the south and southwest Niger, Mali, and Mauritania, and to the west Western Sahara and Morocco. In the past it was part of the French colonial empire; since 1962 it has been an independent state. It is a traditional ally of China and Russia in the region, yet Algeria consistently insists on maintaining an independent foreign policy orientation. For example, it does not permit the establishment of foreign military bases on its territory.

Air War over Ukraine - Cities Are Freezing
In this installment of the series, we cover the period from January 1, 2026 to January 31, 2026. During this month, Russia focused on attacks against energy infrastructure — power plants, heating plants, substations. The goal is to terrorize the civilian population with freezing temperatures. Apart from intensive shelling, not much happened in the air. There were several drone attacks on Ukrainian airfields, but their results were mixed.

Where is Hartmann’s Bf 109 K-4? If you have an interest in Luftwaffe aircraft and German fighter aces, sooner or later you have likely encountered the question of Erich Hartmann's last personal aircraft: did he fly a Bf 109 K-4, or did he not?
