On this day in 1873, Susan B. Anthony was on trial for "illegally voting." Oh, yes.

On this day in 1928, Amelia Earhart began her record-breaking Trans-Atlantic flight.

On this day in 1971, Jeanne M. Holm, becomes the first brigadier general in the United States Air Force, and in 1973, she was promoted to major general.
