A little trivia... anyone.

Yes it was Morris Berg, he was in Japan with both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig as well as others, but only he had the official OK from then Secretary of State Cordell Hull.
Yes it was Leslie Howard, he played Ashley Wilkes in Gone with the Wind and I think he won an Oscar as well, maybe not, but I know that he was nominated for an Oscar a few times.
And yes it was the Ludendorff railway bridge that collapsed as the U.S. 1st Army were making it's way across.
We are still looking for the famous air raid that was planned using Mr. Berg's pictures.

I found some old high school text books from the early 50's and some others on WW2 again from the early 50's and have been going through them, interesting stuff from what they are teaching today. I'll see if I can find anything a little tougher to answer.
