As Northern gannets gracefully dive for fish off the coast of Shetland, we are reminded that every new day brings opportunities to start afresh. The U. S. Army Air Forces B-29 Superfortress bomber aircraft represents not only technological advancements but also the courage to embark on new missions and challenges. From an illustration depicting the evolution of horses, we learn that beginnings mark significant milestones in our journey towards growth and adaptation.
