Re: The official AHF USA quiz thread
Well, "Operation Underworld" gives you several to chose from. IIRC, Joseph A. "Socks" Lanza was the first "Made" member of a crime family to cooperate with the US government. The most famous would be Salvatore Lucania (aka Charles "Lucky" Luciano), Meyer Suchowljansky (aka Meyer Lansky), and supposedly Anthony "Tough Tony" Anastasio.

Re: The official AHF USA quiz thread
I apologise for not giving a clue - I had to go into hospital for an operation, plus my laptop died. The answer is that the US navy experimented with increasing the range of aircraft by using them as towed gliders. Two F4F Wildcats were hooked to tow lines behind an Army A-20 bomber, had their engines cut and were towed for an hour for 180 knots at 7,000 feet.
The floor is now open to anyone else who wants to post a question.
