Singer José Montserrate Feliciano García is 80 years
old today.

Launching from the Japanese sub I-25 (like below) Nobuo
Fujita piloted his light aircraft over the state of Oregon near
Brookings and firebombed Mount Emily, starting a forest fire.           

President Franklin D. Roosevelt immediately called for a news
blackout for the sake of morale. No long-term damage was 
done, and Fujita eventually went home to train navy pilots for
the rest of the war.

It was the first-ever aerial bombing on the US mainland.

Clayton Moore (September 14, 1914 – December 28, 1999)

The Stetson hat worn by Clayton Moore during promotional
appearances as “The Lone Ranger” was just sold at auction
for just over $300,000.

The iconic accessory, a white beaver-felt size 6 34 Stetson
hat, was sold on day one of Propstore’s Los Angeles
Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction last Thursday.

It had been part of Moore’s personal collection, and sold for
a final price of $302,400.

The auction ran from September 4-6 and included other items
like Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man 2 costume and Michael
Keaton’s Batman suit.
