U.K.

- King George’s daughter Princess Elizabeth marries Philip Mountbatten, who becomes the Duke of Edinburgh.

- Heck it’s been nine months since the last attempt. Project Whittaker scientists launch a second rocket/missile carrying fruit flies, which reaches the very edge of space (109km), and which become the first animals in space. (Note this is different to first animal in orbit, which you could argue is the real first animal in space)
