1/ As many of you know, I’ve been spending a lot of time in Chuuk State, part of the Federated States of Micronesia over the last few years. @ProjRecover is searching for over 100 U.S. MIAs who went missing in the lagoon during World War II. bit.ly/2wt7SEd

Fantastic episode of #HATM about an excellent movie from my childhood. It's great to hear that "medieval" historians actually enjoyed it too!

Couldn't agree more. Now @DrSarahMyers and I just need to get @LukeTruxal and @HerbertHistory into #F1...

Props to stellar historians @LukeTruxal @DrSarahMyers and @HerbertHistory for a great podcast. And thanks so much for letting me sneak in half way through!

Reasons I can’t play Skull and Bones yet with @HerbertHistory… You know you’re deep in the writing process when the CMOS needs to be this close to your keyboard…

As I mentioned to @LukeTruxal and @DrSarahMyers on @HerbertHistory's #HATM podcast this week, in 2018 we conducted a @ProjRecover investigation in Lake Balaton, Hungary. Here, we are getting depth measurements and sending a GoPro down on some paracord to examine mud and silting.

Our most recent MOTA recap is up for Ep 8! Important things we discuss: *Long distance Netflix dates?? *Hungarian Wine Regions *Top Gun is def a training movie *Best hot take? From @LukeTruxal: MOTA Anti-British bias will most likely kill off Sandra's terrible plot!

In which a steamy affair on screen for less than a minute drove several historians into the sources for hours! ALSO - Two camps emerge: are you Team P-51/B-17 or P-38/B-24?? @LukeTruxal @DrSarahMyers bring the historical heat and it’s been a blast debriefing MOTA!

“Anxiety about remaining episodes….”

@DrSarahMyers is the best and her book is such an amazing addition to the historiography. Seems like an ideal topic for the next @tomhanks series….

Very proud of @ProjRecover's work alongside @dodpaa and the @kwajmiaproject. Working together on sites like these helps bring our MIAs home. army.mil/article/270924

Ep 4 brings a new perspective from those on the ground! And where did that 25 missions number come from? We dig in!

Learn all about our thoughts on the Midwest, murdering innocent ball bearings, and illegitimate children! Oh and the film!

An incredible find for our teams @ProjRecover and @dodpaa. In terms of MIAs, this is our single largest aviation discovery to date. Special props to @specsonwrecks for her extensive research on U.S. losses in Croatia that helped make this possible. udel.edu/udaily/2022/october…

Excellent write-up on an aviation (and human) disaster in World War II.

So proud of my best friend @nickhussong on his Tony Nomination for his FIRST Broadway Show.

Many thanks to the great folks at the @UDBidenInst for inviting me to hear WWII B-17 pilot Ray Firmani speak today! At 100, he was still so sharp and I can’t get enough of the stories. Beautiful place, too!

Amazing! Cannot wait to read it!

I haven’t posted about #F1 much on this app, but I am SO excited for the #AbuDhabiGP and the world championship this weekend!
