Rumpler Tropfenwagen, 1921. An early experiment in automotive aerodynamics, Austrian engineer Edmund Rumpler had designed aircraft but showed the teardrop-shaped Tropfenwagen at the Berlin car show. It was the first series production car to employ curved glass and had a drag coefficient of only 0.28, still competitive 100 years later. It had a 2.6 litre W6 engine with 3 banks of 2 cylinders working from a common crankshaft that produced 36hp but propelled the car to 70mph, a remarkable figure for the period. Sales were slow, some were adapted as taxis because the driver sat in the middle at the front, ahead of the 4 other seats. Only around 100 had been made when production ended 100 years ago in 1924, and just 2 are known to still exist.

1918 01 30 SE5 McCudden victories 45 and 46 - Mark Postlethwaite

On 30 January 1918 - a bright winter's morning - No 56 Sqn ace Capt James McCudden took off alone at 0945 hrs. The previous day the engine of his SE 5a had been fitted with high compression pistons, and McCudden hoped that they would sufficiently increase the power of his Hispano-Suiza 8B motor to enable him to catch and engage the enemy's high-flying. Maybach-powered, Rumpler Cs. After two unsuccessful engagements involving a Hannover C over Bullecourt and five Albatros scouts south of Vendhuille. McCudden saw five more German fighters climbing for height above Anneux. Determined as ever to follow his own dictum 'to destroy as many as possible of the enemy at the least risk and casualties to one's own side', the veteran ace waited until the aircraft had reached 14,000 ft before using a 5000-ft height advantage to dive on them; 'Down I went, and very quickly got behind the leader, into whom I fired a burst at very close range. He at once went down vertically, with pieces of three-ply wood falling off his fuselage. and he was seen to strike the ground by our "Archie" gunners. I hadn't time to watch him, as I was fighting four more scouts now and had my attention fully occupied. However, I got into position behind a Plalz, and after a short burst from the good old Vickers he went down in a spiral dive and crashed also.' The remaining three enemy scouts, in McCudden's own words 'now evinced signs of alarm'. He fired at another Albatros. which spun away, but was then attacked by a second machine from behind. McCudden quickly reversed the positions. got onto the tail of the Albatros and opened fire. but after only a short burst both guns stopped - his Lewis gun was out of ammunition, and the the belt of his Vickers had broken. McCudden now felt 'awfully brave'·, and realising the remaining Albatros and Plalz were 'awfully dud', stayed to fight them, chasing the scouts south of Cambrai before heading home. The leader of the formation. Vfw Adam Barth of Jasta 10. flying Albatros D V 4565/17 was killed, whilst the pilot of the Plalz- McCudden's second victory of the day, and his 46th overall - survived the crash

A class of toxic chemicals that can last in the environment for thousands of years and are linked to countless health issues -- including cancer and reproductive disorders -- are being spread across America's agricultural land.1

It reads like the plot of a disaster movie, but this is exactly what's happening across the country: Sewage sludge fertilizer laced with a class of hazardous chemicals known as PFAS is being smeared over millions of acres of farmland.

Tell the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): PFAS don't belong on America's farmland.

The EPA acknowledged last week that some of the forever chemicals found in sewage sludge fertilizer can pose health risks, sometimes exceeding the agency's safety thresholds by "several orders of magnitude."2

Farmers have already obtained permits to spread this fertilizer across 70 million acres -- about a fifth of all US farm land.3

Some farms have already shut down after discovering exceptionally high concentrations of PFAS in treated soil. And there are suspicions that tainted sewage sludge fertilizer may be to blame for the deaths of cattle, horses and fish on properties near treated farms.4

Studies have indicated that eating various produce and other farm products grown with PFAS-laden fertilizer can also pose health risks.5

Urge the EPA to take the threat of PFAS seriously and phase out the use of PFAS-laden fertilizer on agricultural land.

Because PFAS are incredibly difficult to break down, they have been collecting in our environment for years. Almost every American today has PFAS in their blood.6

When tainted sludge fertilizer is applied to a field, the contamination can last for decades.7 This is a problem that has the potential to impact generations -- that's why we have to act fast.

Tell the EPA: The unregulated use of PFAS-laced sludge fertilizer on farms must be stopped -- for the sake of our health and the health of generations of Americans to come.
