    l. John F. Kennedy at NASA's Cape Canaveral Missile Test Annex in 1962.
    2. Douglas MacArthur signing the official Japanese surrender instrument aboard the USS Missouri, 1945.

    4. George Armstrong Custer (with his dog) and some of his fellow soldiers, during the American Civil War.
    5. Manfred von Richthofen, aka “The Red Baron”, petting his dog on an airfield.

    I got three of them correct. I guess I'm more well versed in my history than I thought. I loved the photos. Fun post!

    I got 1, 2, and 4 and guessed Hitler in 3 although not the circumstance. Interesting. I had no idea Tsar Nicholas ever goofed off!
