AEG J . I The AEG J . I was a German biplane ground attack aircraft of 1917 , an armored and more powerful version of the AEG C . IV reconnaissance aircraft . Design and development . AEG J . I featured armour protection for the pilot and for the more powerful engine that was fitted to the heavier aircraft . Two 7 . 92 mm ( . 312 in ) LMG 08 / 15 machine gun s were fitted to the floor of the observer ' s cockpit for ground targets . One 7 . 92 mm ( . 312 in ) Parabellum MG14 machine gun was provided in the typical rear - facing defensive position . Finally , armour plating was added around the engine and cockpits . Aircraft fitted with ailerons on the lower wing as well as the upper wing were designated AEG J . Ia . An improved version of the J . I was developed as the AEG J . II , which had aerodynamically balance aiterons with overhanging horn balances , extended rear fuselage with a larger fin to improve directional stability and a re - located aileron link strut . After the war , several J . IIs served the first sustained daily passenger aeroplane service in the world , between Berlin and Weimar , flown by Deutsche Luft - Reederei . This route began on 5 February 1919 . Early commercial J . II ' s retained open cockpits , but modified versions with enclosed cabins for the two passengers quickly replaced them .
Battle of Stoczek Battle of Stoczek was the first major battle of the November Uprising in Poland . It took place on February 14 , 1831 , near the town of Stoczek Łukowski , on the Brest - Warsaw road . The Russian Army commanded by Field Marshal Hans Karl von Diebitsch entered Poland on February 4 and started a fast advance towards Warsaw . Dybich planned to outflank the Poles from the north and sent a Corps under Teodor Geismar to the Brest road . Although both Geismar and Dybich were informed of the Polish presence in the area , they underestimated the enemy and decided to ignore the Polish units operating in the area . General Józef Dwernicki , commander of the Polish forces in the area , decided to reorganise his units into a weak cavalry division . He managed to gather 14 cavalry squadrons , 3 infantry battalions and 6 guns ( approximately 1000 men at arms altogether ) and on February 10 he crossed the Vistula River . The main forces of Field Marshal Dybich were marching towards Warsaw from the direction of Lublin while the Corps of General Geismar was marching along the Brest road . The two units lost contact with each other and left a huge gap in between , which was used by Dwernicki to drive his wedge to the rear of the advancing Russians . Moreover , the northern part of the Russian army was marching in two columns , without any cover or contact with the other column . In the morning of February 14 the first of the columns was ambushed by the numerically inferior Polish cavalry . Before the Russians regrouped , they were bombarded with a flanking fire of Polish artillery and their ranks quickly collapsed . The Russian column was caught between the rear column of Geismar ' s forces and the charging Polish cavalry . When Geismar ' s unit entered combat , it had to form the lines under Polish fire and with own forces already in retreat . After a short battle , Geismar ordered all his troops to retreat . The battle of Stoczek was the first Polish victory in the war and had a tremendous effect on Polish morale . Also , although Dwernicki did not destroy the enemy unit completely , it did not join the rest of the Russian forces and the left flank of the Polish forces preparing for the Battle of Olszynka Grochowska was secured .
147th ( Grey ) Battalion , CEF The 147th ( Grey ) Battalion , CEF was a unit in the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War , raised by the 31st Grey Regiment . Based in Owen Sound , Ontario , the unit began recruiting in late 1915 in Grey County . It departed to Camp Niagara 19 May 1916 under the command of Lieutenant - Colonel G . F . MacFarland , where it trained until 4 July when it moved to the brand new Camp Borden . The 147th left Camp Borden on 5 October for embarkation overseas , sailing on the sister ship to RMS Titanic , RMS Olympic , arriving at Liverpool , England on 20 November . After sailing to England in November 1916 , the battalion was absorbed into the 8th Reserve Battalion on 1 January 1917 . The 147th ( Grey ) Battalion , CEF had one Officer Commanding : Lieut - Col . G . F . McFarland . The 147th received its Regimental colours on 22 August 1916 at Camp Borden , which were subsequently laid - up for safe keeping in St . Nicholas Cathedral , Newcastle - on - Tyne , England , on 26 May 1917 . They were reclaimed on 3 March 1919 and returned to Canada where they were deposited in the Owen Sound Public Library on 16 September . Eventually , they were encased in the Owen Sound Officers ' Mess . In a rather unorthodox approach , a duplicate stand of 147th Colours was produced in 1948 by the Grey Council and deposited in the old County Courthouse by the Association on 13 April 1949 . Of note , the 147th ' s Private Thomas William Holmes , VC , of Owen Sound won the Victoria Cross at the Battle of Passchendaele on 26 October 1917 , while serving with the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles . Tommy Holmes became Canada ' s youngest winner of the VC and the Owen Sound Armoury is named in his memory . Each year on Remembrance Day , a firing party from The Grey and Simcoe Foresters , which perpetuates the 147th , fires a volley over his grave at Greenwood Cemetery , Owen Sound . Of significance is that two other VC winners are also buried at Greenwood Cemetery , Air Marshal Billy Bishop and Major David Vivian Currie . References . Meek , John F . " Over the Top !

Death flights The death flights ( ) were a form of forced disappearance routinely practiced during the Argentine " Dirty War " , begun by Admiral Luis María Mendía . Victims of death flights were first drugged into a stupor , hustled aboard fixed - wing aircraft or helicopters , stripped naked and pushed into the Río de la Plata or the Atlantic Ocean to drown . Extrajudicial killings have been conducted in a manner substantively similar to those of the Argentine death flights , during the 1957 Battle of Algiers , and other conflicts . Death flights during the Dirty War in Argentina . According to the testimony of Adolfo Scilingo , convicted in Spain of crimes against humanity under the doctrine of universal jurisdiction in 2005 , there were 180 - 200 death flights in the years 1977 and 1978 ; Scilingo confessed to participating in two such flights , with 13 and 17 people killed respectively . As an added twist , victims were sometimes made to dance for joy in celebration of the freedom that they were told awaited them . In an earlier interview , in 1996 , Scilingo said , " They were played lively music and made to dance for joy , because they were going to be transferred to the south . [ . . . ] After that , they were told they had to be vaccinated due to the transfer , and they were injected with Pentothal . And shortly after , they became really drowsy , and from there we loaded them onto trucks and headed off for the airfield . " Scilingo says that the Argentine Navy is " still hiding what happened during the dirty war " . In May 2010 , Spain extradited to Argentina pilot Julio Alberto Poch . Poch , who was born in 1952 , had been arrested in Valencia , Spain , on September 23 , 2009 and was wanted in Argentina for his alleged participation as a pilot on the death flights . In December 2010 an Argentinean judge dismissed all charges against Poch for lack of evidence and ordered his release pending further investigation . In November 2011 the investigating magistrate indicted Poch for his role in the disappearance of 41 people , and ordered him held without bail . Use in other conflicts . Algeria . Death flights were used during the Algerian War by French paratroopers of the 10th Parachute Division under Jacques Massu during the Battle of Algiers . After it was discovered that the corpses sometimes resurfaced , the executioners began to attach concrete blocks to their victims ' feet . These victims came to be known as " Bigeard ' s shrimps " ( " " ) , after one of the paratrooper commanders , Marcel Bigeard . Malagasy Uprising . During the Malagasy Uprising of 1947 , in Mananjary hundreds of Malagasy were killed , among them 18 women and a group of prisoners thrown from aircraft .
