TODAY IN HISTORY

    BLUE BABY OPERATION
    November 29, 1944 - Johns Hopkins University, U.S.A.

    The first "blue baby" operation was performed successfully at Johns Hopkins University by Dr. Alfred Blalock and pediatric cardiologist Helen B. Taussig. He devised the first subclavian-pulmonary artery anastomosis operation on the cyanotic ("blue-baby") infant which had a hole in the wall between the heart's two major chambers (ventricles). The Blalock-Taussig shunt procedure joined an artery leaving the heart to an artery leading to the lungs, in an attempt to give the blood a second chance at oxygenation. Thousands of cyanotic children have been helped by the same operation until later surgeries repair the defect itself.

    CONCORDE
    November 29, 1962 - England at Filton, France at Toulouse

    In 1962, the British Aircraft Corporation and the major French airline company, Sud Aviation, agreed to jointly design and manufacture a 100-seat supersonic passenger airliner. Two months later, in Jan 1963, a BAC executive suggested the name "Concord" after using a thesaurus, which was adopted as Concorde, reflecting the French spelling. In May 1963, it was decided each Concorde component would be single sourced, but with two final assembly lines, one in England at Filton and one in France at Toulouse. The U.K. was to manufacture 60 per cent of the engine and 40 per cent of the airframe. Within the decade, the first Concorde had broken the sound barrier on 1 Oct 1969. Passenger flights began on 21 Jan 1976.
