July 18: Nero And A Fiddle

On this day in history...

the Me-262 jet makes it's first flight in 1942.
Zond 3 is launched for a moon flyby in 1965.
Ted Kennedy drives Mary Jo Kopechne to her death in 1969.


Also On This Day...

Rome burns in 64. But whatever Nero did or did not do, he definitely was not playing the fiddle since it would not be invented for another thousand years.
