Headlines This Day in 1983: A dangerous chapter of the Cold War. (More on the Soviet shootdown of Korean Airlines flight 007 in the days ahead)
A New York businessman named Donald Trump attacked the U.S. national security establishment - On This Day in 1987 - with this full page ad in The New York Times. Trump said America was being ripped off by allies like Japan and Saudi Arabia
News coverage of Syria's terrible civil war has faded in the U.S., yet the war rages on. On This Day in 2015, the body of Aylan Kurdi washed up on a Turkish beach. Aylan's family was fleeing Syria, desperate to find a better life elsewhere. Aylan was three years old
Also On This Day - in 1944: A brave navy pilot, shot down over the Pacific, was plucked to safety by an American submarine. His name: George H.W. Bush. WATCH:
Bush, just 20 when he was shot down, flew 58 combat missions in WWII. Five of his comrades were captured by the Japanese, tortured, executed and eaten. The grisly "Chichijima incident" was recounted in James Bradey's harrowing 2003 book "Flyboys." Mr. Bush is today 94 years old
