 Skylighters, The Web Site of the 225th AAA Searchlight Battalion: The Yank Magazine Page
YANK, The Army Weekly, which published editions in every major theater of combat during World War II (and divided them still further: European, British, Mediterranean, Pacific, and Chine-Burma-India), was — along with the Stars and Stripes — a staple of GI reading material.
YANK began publication within six months ofthe Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor with a hastily assembled staff of GIs in an office on Manhattan's East 42nd Street.
And YANK's still cameramen had another big thing in common: a readiness to go wherever the fighting was to capture the GI story of the war.

 Skylighters, The Web Site of the 225th AAA Searchlight Battalion: The Yank Magazine Page: The Girls of Yank
YANK was published in several editions (Western Pacific, designated WPE below; British, BRI; Mediterranean, MED; Continental, CON; etc.); hence, more than one pinup may have appeared for a given cover date or the frequency of publication may seem other than weekly.
YANK, a weekly magazine written by and for ordinary soldiers, was a wonderful experiment in democratic (if highly restricted) journalism that was read each week by an estimated 2.2 million soldiers, sailors, and airmen.
Yank was remarkably free of the heavy-handed propaganda that characterized many homefront publications during the war.

 Yank Rachell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Fighting Yank
Fighting Yank, who came along after both of those were firmly established, showed that even a superhero doesn't have to wrap himself in a flag, like they did, to prove his patriotism.
In addition to the green cloak, Bruce III's Fighting Yank outfit included several 18th century fashion motifs, such as tri-corner hat and square buckles, and a modern-style American flag (greatly understated, compared to Captain Flag, Fighting American and others of his sub-genre) on his chest.
Even while his series was running, Marvel Comics introduced a very minor character called Fighting Yank; and while this Fighting Yank was dropped almost immediately, he's still mentioned on rare occasions as a small background element of the Marvel Universe.

 The Yanks are Coming
Though the choice seems to have been made at random (and as Chuck Leighton points out, some of the US troops were already there and greeting Henke), it was a happy one.
In many ways Milburn Henke was the quintessential Yank, good looking, easy going, modest; he was the dough boy come back, the small town American who, while not looking for a fight, would see it through to the end.
Yanks are a novelty, of course, and our welcome will probably wear out if we become too numerous, but by that time I expect to have many friends with a few families.

 Vim documentation: change
When no characters are to be yanked (e.g., "y0" in column 1), this is an error when 'cpoptions' includes the 'E' flag.
Note that after a yank command, Vim leaves the cursor on the first yanked character that is closest to the start of the buffer.
Rationale: In Vi the "y" command followed by a backwards motion would sometimes not move the cursor to the first yanked character, because redisplaying was skipped.
