...it's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there...
The category is "Military History," for $300. It's another video clue, and i hope it's difficulty will make up for the other relatively easy clues in this category. Can i help it if you people are so smart?
Update: Now that there has been a correct response, i can show you the front of the mug. Click here.

Posted by: Kyle on Jul. 29, 2005It's gotta be the P-3.
The P-3 was originally built by Lockheed Martin (located in Burbank) in 1959 (which would have made Annie's granny about 30ish-years old).
Plus the +3 sounds like a P-3 to me.

Posted by: annika trebek on Jul. 29, 2005If anyone's interested, Skunkworks, by Ben R. Rich and Leo Janos, is a great book about it's namesake. I actually liked it better than Kelly Johnson's autobiography, if just because Skunkworks deals with more of the technical aspects of the work done there.
Posted by: Trevor on Jul. 29, 2005Yes, my grandma, God bless her, worked at the skunkworks in Burbank. i never realized the significance of that when i was little, she had retired before i was born i think. but i always remembered her drinking coffee out of that cup. It was the only cup she ever used. Now it's one of my most prized possessions.
Posted by: annika on Jul. 29, 2005Hold onto it. I've worked at Pratt & Whitney since I got out of college. It was until after a few years that I found out from my great aunt that I had several family memebrs who worked here during the war. She showed me a picture, but after her death, I wasn't able to find it. Man, I wish I had that photo.
Posted by: Trevor on Jul. 29, 2005-Let's close the category for 200 please.
-I'd also recommend Rich's book, to anyone interested in such things.
