| A-Bomb WWW Museum | This large site has two goals: to provide a history of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and the impact it had locally and globally, and to provide a forum for the discussion of anti-nuclear efforts. The section of the site devoted to the history of the topic, has an introductory essay about the Enola Gay and the bomb drop, while subsections examine the destruction of the city with graphs, scientific studies, dozens of photographs of the devastation, and, most powerfully, the recollections of five survivors. |
| About Goddard Space Flight Center | This site from NASA contains a brief biography and photograph of the physicist and "father of modern rocket propulsion," Robert Hutchings Goddard.

A link on the liquid fueled rocket leads to several photographs and engineering sketches and an account of its inaugural flight. Statistics (size, employees, locations, funding, milestones) about the NASA center which is named after Goddard are also available. |
| Aerodrome: Aces and Aircraft of World War I | The Areodrome site offers lists of World War I aces, their combat stats, and a chronology of kills and events.

The site is not searchable, but all of the records are indexed and linked to make the site very easy to navigate. |
