Answer: Cargo/transport

There are two series of aircraft with "C" designations: the first began in May of 1924; the second began in 1962. The earlier scheme was used for Army and Air Force aircraft only; the later scheme embraced all of the branches of the military. The Lockheed C-141 Starlifter was in service from 1965 to 2006 and bridged the two lettering schemes; it was replaced by the C-17 Globemaster III.

The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy military transport aircraft was introduced in 1970. From 1974 to 2017, the Beechcraft C-2 Huron was a much lighter, much smaller plane used by all of the services.

Answer: Naples

Naples was founded as a Greek settlement around 600 B.C., in southwestern Italy's Campania region. By the 18th and 19th century is was an important waterfront city, populated with a dense citizenry of working poor who needed inexpensive food. Flatbreads fulfilled this need because it could be eaten quickly, while working, and it was very versatile in what could be piled onto it.

The toppings back then actually have carried over up to today: tomatoes, cheese, oil, anchovies and garlic.

Question by player Billkozy

Answer: Analog Television Begins

Television was never called analog television until the invention of digital television. When the government replaced the old type of signal with the new "digital" format, the old format was referred to as analog. At the time television signals began to be broadcast in large cities, it was just called "television". If you see an old newspaper that says "Analog Television Begins", it must be a gag.

Question by player wellenbrecher

Answer: The Philippines

The name "Aswang" comes from a reversal of the phrase "Ang Aso," which means "the dog." Most of the time, an Aswang will shape-shift into a dog, although it can also take on the form of a cat, a bird, or many other animals. An Aswang's daytime form is human, and it has no problem being in the sunlight. Garlic, holy water, consecrated ground, salt and decapitation--on the other hand--can prove most injurious.
