McColloch ' s Leap McColloch ' s Leap was a feat performed during a September 1777 attack by Native Americans on Fort Henry , site of present - day Wheeling , West Virginia , during the American Revolutionary War . In September 1777 , during a Native American siege on the fort , Major Samuel McColloch arrived at the fort with forty mounted men from Short Creek . The gates of the fort were thrown open to allow the men entrance . Major McColloch lingered behind to guide and protect the men . The Indians attacked , and all of the men except McColloch made it inside before they were forced to close the gates . McColloch found himself alone and surrounded by Native Americans , and he rode immediately towards the nearby hill in an attempt to escape . McColloch had earned a reputation as a very successful " borderer " ( one who protected the frontier borders from the Native Americans ) and was well known to both the frontiersmen and the Indians . The Indians eagerly pursued McColloch , and drove him to the summit of the hill . As he rode along the top of the hill , he encountered another large body of Indians . He now found himself surrounded , with no path of escape . He knew that , because of his reputation and history against the Indians , he would be tortured and killed with great cruelty if he were to be captured alive . With all avenues of escape cut off , he turned and faced the precipice , and with the bridle in his left hand and his rifle in his right , he spurred his horse over the edge to an almost certain death . The hill at that location is about three hundred feet in height , and in many places is almost perpendicular . The Indians rushed to the edge , expecting to see the Major lying dead in a crumpled heap at the bottom of the hill . To their great surprise they instead saw McColloch , still mounted on his white horse , galloping away from them . As legend of this famous " leap " became known , the place where it occurred became known as " McColloch ' s Leap " . In 1917 , the Daughters of the American Revolution placed a monument on the hill to commemorate McColloch ' s bravery . The monument still stands near the top of Wheeling Hill , next to U . S . Route 40 ( National Road ) .

After a seven week filibuster and six months of debate , the amendment was approved by the Senate by a vote of 58 to 37 on 30 June 1970 . The bill failed in the House of Representatives , which opposed inclusion of the amendment by a vote of 237 to 153 . President Richard M . Nixon threatened to veto the bill if it contained the Cooper – Church provisions , and the foreign assistance bill was subsequently passed without it . A revised Cooper – Church amendment , Public Law 91 - 652 , passed both houses of Congress on 22 December 1970 , and was enacted on 5 January 1971 , although this version had limited restrictions on air operations and was attached to the Supplementary Foreign Assistance Act of 1970 . By that time , U . S . ground forces had already officially withdrawn from Cambodia , while U . S . bombing missions in Cambodia ( Operation Freedom Deal ) continued until 1973 . The Nixon administration denounced all versions of the amendment , claiming that they harmed the military effort and weakened the American bargaining position at the Paris peace talks . Author David F . Schmitz stated that the amendment was a landmark in the history of opposition to the war , congressional initiatives to bring the fighting to an end , and efforts to control executive power in foreign policy .

Albatros J . I The Albatros J . I was a German armored ground attack airplane of World War I , produced in 1918 . Design and development . The Albatros J . I was a " J - class " derivative of the Albatros C . XII reconnaissance aircraft . The J . I utilized the wings and tail of the C . XII , which were joined to a new slab - sided fuselage . The crew compartment was protected by 490 kg ( 1 , 080 lb ) of steel armor plate , while the engine was left unprotected . The sides and bottom were 5 mm thick chrome nickel steel plate that was bolted to the wood frame . Power was provided by the 150 kW ( 200 hp ) Benz Bz . IV , which gave marginal performance when combined with the heavy J . I airframe . The fixed 7 . 92 mm ( . 312 in ) machine guns fired downward to facilitate strafing ground targets . The Albatros J . I was developed for low - altitude battlefield reconnaissance and ground - attack missions , often at altitudes of 50 meters ( 150 feet ) or less . Albatros J . Is were mainly issued to " Flieger Abteilungen " in support of the Army Corps or Army Headquarters . German units began receiving the J . Is in April 1918 and they were first used in the Battle of the Lys . The aircraft was popular with crews , due to the armor protection and good visibility of the low set engine .

The older aircraft nevertheless served until the Armistice . Two were bought by Austria - Hungary . After the war , it was still operated by Poland , Norway , Ukraine . Poland was the largest post - war user of the type .
