Are they like Eagles? They sore high, then sort of crash into each other and tumble and tumble toward the ground in each other's grasp, then break apart at what seems like the last second.

No, but close to it. They occupied several Islands in the "chain" out near the end but Alaska at that time was a territory, not a state. Nit picking facts

Should have read it more closely. Attacked yes as others pointed out.

Everyone has a 1911 style pistol, I have owned many.
There were made by the millions in WWII by various manufactures.
However one unlikely manufacture only made 500 of these pistols. And while it is estimated there are 5 to 10 thousand counterfeit copies in the world of these special 1911 .45 pistols very few authentic ones remain accounted for after being issued to military personnel during the war. They bring a premium when a real one is offered for sale.
So who made these very rare indeed 1911 pistols?
Note: Original and correct xxx pistols are highly desired by collectors and when sold, bring significantly higher prices
than more common 1911A1 pistols. The Krause Publications 2002 “Standard Catalog of Firearms Price Guide” lists (Original) xxx pistols
in excellent condition (96%-98%) at $25,000, in very good condition (92%-95%) at $18,000, in good condition (85%-95%) at $12,000,
in fair condition (65%-85%) at $7,000, and in poor condition (60%or less) at $3,500. xxx pistols are one of the most copied/forged M1911-A1s

This Colt Third Model is reportedly valued at $5,000,000.00
What is its "name", or why is it so special?

Just a guess it was presented to some president? The engraving looks like a presidential seal?

Close. This one was presented to the Sultan of Turkey by old Sam Colt himself during the Crimean War in 1854. This gun is now a part of the Metropolitan Museum in NYC.
It should be noted that Sam also gave one to Czar Nicolas 1 of Russia. Russia was fighting against Turkey in that war. Old Sam was on a sales trip

What's the name of the three barreled 18 round pistol that used 6.35 x16 mm semi-ribbed rounds? It could fire 1,2 or 3 rounds at once. It was designed to use moon clip speed loader to load all 18 rounds at once. Now in your defense, this gun was (to my knowledge) never produced besides a working(?) prototype.
The answer: Pistola con Caricato
The triple barrel, 18-shot Pistola con Caricato revolver
Some awesome pics of this weird gun can be found at the link above.
