Flanders F . 4 The Flanders F . 4 was a 1910s British experimental military two - seat monoplane aircraft designed and built by Howard Flanders as a development of the Flanders F . 3 . Development . Following success with his F . 3 experimental monoplane in the spring of 1912 , the British War Office ordered four Flanders monoplanes for use by the newly formed Royal Flying Corps . The aircraft had the same configuration as the F . 3 but was improved with larger cockpits , accommodating a crew of two in tandem , was powered by a 70 hp ( 52 kW ) Renault engine driving a four - bladed propeller and had other modifications to improve reliability and maintainability . The fixed landing gear of the F . 3 was improved with the addition of coil - spring suspension . The first aircraft was flying at Brooklands by 6 July 1912 , with all four flown and delivered to the RFC by 2 January 1913 . Testing showed the monoplanes flew well , but following the fatal crashes of a Deperdussin and a Bristol - Coanda Monoplane on 6 and 10 September 1912 , the Royal Flying Corps had banned the use of monoplanes and the aircraft were not used , with their engines being removed to power Royal Aircraft Factory BE . 2 s .

Protei - 5 Russian diver propulsion vehicle The Protei - 5 ( Протей - 5 ) is a small Russia n one - man diver propulsion vehicle often used by Russian commando frogmen . It is battery electric powered , using six non - sealed lead – acid batteries . It clips on under the diver with a clip over each shoulder and one up between his legs . Its casing is aluminium . It was intended to be clipped onto the outside of a submarine ; near the operation site the frogmen would airlock out underwater and unhitch their Protei 5 ' s and ride them to the operation site . It seems to have been intended to be ridden fast and far rather than for complicated maneuvering . The Russian for " diver - carrying vehicle " is буксировщик " buksirovshchik " = " tugger " .

Battle of the Sambre ( 1918 ) The Second Battle of the Sambre ( 4 November 1918 ) ( which included the Second Battle of Guise ( ) and the Battle of Thiérache ( ) ) was part of the final European Allied offensives of World War I . Background . At the front , German resistance was falling away . Unprecedented numbers of prisoners were taken in the Battle of the Selle , and a new attack was quickly prepared . The French First Army and the British First , Third , and Fourth Armies were tasked with advancing from south of the Condé Canal along a thirty - mile front towards Maubeuge - Mons , threatening Namur . Together with the American forces breaking out of the forests of Argonne , this would , if successful , disrupt the German efforts to reform a shortened defensive line along the Meuse . At dawn on 4 November , 17 British and 11 French divisions headed the attack . The Tank Corps , its resources badly stretched , could provide only 37 tanks for support . Battle . The first barrier to the northern attack was the 60 - to 70 - foot - wide ( ) Sambre Canal and the flooded ground around it . It was there that the BEF had fought over four years ago . The XIII and IX Corps reached the canal first . German guns quickly ranged the attackers , and bodies piled up before the temporary bridges were properly emplaced under heavy fire . The 1st and 32nd divisions of IX Corps lost around 1 , 150 men in the crossing , including celebrated war poet Wilfred Owen . Even after the crossing the German forces defended in depth amid the small villages and fields , and it was not until midday that a by breach was secured . Lieutenant Colonel D . G . Johnson was awarded the Victoria Cross for leading the 2nd Battalion Sussex Regiment ' s crossing of the canal . Further north , IV and V Corps attacked into Forêt de Mormal . At Le Quesnoy , the Germans defence was haphazard : the 13th Royal Welsh Fusiliers hardly needed to use their guns , while the 9th Battalion of the 17th Division lost all but two officers and 226 of 583 soldiers . Despite this , the advance continued and the battle objectives were reached on the 4th or the following day . To the south , the French First Army attacked , capturing the communes of Guise ( the Second Battle of Guise ) and Origny - en - Thiérache ( the Battle of Thiérache ) . This resulted in a bridgehead almost fifty miles long being made , to a depth of two to three miles deep . From this point , the northern Allies advanced relentlessly , sometimes more than five miles a day , until the Armistice Line of 11 November from Ghent , through Hourain , Bauffe , Havré , to near Consoire , and Sivry .
