RNAS Tresco RNAS Tresco was a Royal Naval Air Service base on Tresco , the second largest island in the Isles of Scilly . From February 1917 to May 1919 aircraft patrolled the Western Approaches and provided an escort for convoys . A total of thirteen U - boat s were sighted and nine attacked . History . Despite warnings from locals that the bay was too exposed for these relatively fragile machines , in January 1917 a handful of Short Type 184 seaplanes were stationed at Porthmellon on St Mary ’ s . They were followed by several Curtiss Type 12 flying - boats from RNAS Cattewater near Plymouth . Before the base became operational it was transferred to Tresco , and formed RNAS Tresco at New Grimsby . The first patrol was undertaken on 28 February 1917 and the first conclusive action took place on 27 May 1917 , when an unidentified U - boat was spotted , on the surface , off Bryher . Before diving the U - boat shot at , and holed the aircraft ' s radiator , which was temporary fixed by one of the crew climbing onto the wing and plugging the hole with a handkerchief ! The flying boat dropped two bombs and onshore observers witnessed the submarine ' s stern rising out of the water at an angle of 60° before she sank . Subsequent research suggests that the U - boat may have survived the attack . The crew of the Curtiss Type 12 were later decorated . By the summer , full facilities had been established and from August there were around 22 planes including Short Type 184 and Felixstowe F . 5 flyingboats . The squadron patrolled the Western Approaches of the English Channel and gained two DSCs , one DSM and a CGM . A number of other significant actions followed , notably the thwarting of U - boat attacks on the White Star liner , " Persic " which sustained damage but managed to reach port On 18 August 1918 , the unit became No . 234 Squadron , RAF with Short Type 225 seaplanes . The last patrol was made on 10 November 1918 , by which time all four Flights had been incorporated into the RAF as No . 234 Squadron RAF , before being disbanded in May 1919 . Remains today . Some remains of RNAS Tresco are visible today , most prominently the ramp from the yard onto the beach . The site is now occupied by the appropriately named Flying Boat Club of the Tresco Estate .

List of Medal of Honor recipients for the Second Battle of Fort Fisher The Second Battle of Fort Fisher was a joint assault by Union Army and naval forces against the Confederate Fort Fisher , outside Wilmington , North Carolina , near the end of the American Civil War . Sometimes referred to as the " Gibraltar of the South " and the last major coastal stronghold of the Confederacy , Fort Fisher had tremendous strategic value during the war . The Medal of Honor was created during the American Civil War and is the highest military decoration presented by the United States government to a member of its armed forces . The recipient must have distinguished themselves at the risk of their own life above and beyond the call of duty in action against an enemy of the United States . Due to the nature of this medal , it is commonly presented posthumously .
Saiga - 12 The Saiga - 12 is a 12 - gauge combat shotgun available in a wide range of configurations , visually patterned after the Kalashnikov series of assault rifles . Like the Kalashnikov rifle variants , it is a rotating bolt , gas - operated gun that feeds from a box magazine . All Saiga - 12 configurations are recognizable as Kalashnikov - pattern guns by the large lever - safety on the right side of the receiver , the optic mounting rail on the left side of the receiver and the large top - mounted dust cover held in place by the rear of the recoil spring assembly . The Saiga - 12 is manufactured by the arms division of Izhmash , in Russia . It was previously imported into the US by European American Armories , although their agreement expired in 2005 and Izhmash then began exporting through the Russian - American Armory Company . The current export import partner is Wolf Performance Arms . Izhmash also manufactures Saiga 20s and Saiga 410s in 20 - gauge and . 410 bore , as well as the Saiga semi - automatic hunting rifles in a number of centerfire calibers . The Saiga - 12 incorporates several features absent on the AK - 47 and similar firearms . Since shotgun shells are nearly twice as wide as 7 . 62x39 rifle cartridges , the extraction port in the side of the dust cover had to be increased in size . However , since the bolt had to remain the same length to fit inside the AK - 47 sized receiver , the rear section of the bolt is covered by a sliding metal flap that rides on the recoil spring . This allows the gun to be sealed against dirt when the bolt is forward , but the compression of the recoil spring during firing moves the flap rearward to clear the extracted shells . For the likely reason of simplifying production of Izhmash ' s other Kalashnikov - pattern guns , the Saiga - 12 extractor does not rotate , but instead delegates the bolt - locking function to a caliber - n eutral lug directly behind the bolt - face . The Saiga - 12 incorporates an adjustable two - position gas system , for the reason that firing high power loads such as slugs and buckshot generates so much force that the receiver will be damaged if the full power of the gas system is employed without some sort of recoil buffer . The problem is that making the gun durable with the higher power loads would make it useless with low - power loads such as bean - bags and flares since the gun would fail to cycle – becoming in essence a manual straight - pull action or producing a " stovepipe " malfunction .

HMS Queen ( 1839 ) HMS " Queen " was a 110 - gun first rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy , launched on 15 May 1839 at Portsmouth . She was the last sailing battleship to be completed before the advent of steam . She was initially ordered in 1827 under the name " Royal Frederick " , but was renamed on 12 April 1839 while still on the stocks in honour of the recently enthroned Queen Victoria . She was originally ordered as the final ship of the Broadened " Caledonia " class , but on 3 September 1833 she was re - ordered to a new design by Sir William Symonds . This was the only ship completed to this Symonds draught , although three other sisters were originally ordered to the same design ; of these a ship originally ordered at Portsmouth Dockyard on 12 September 1833 as the " Royal Sovereign " took over the name " Royal Frederick " on 12 April 1839 , and was eventually completed as a screw battleship under the name of " Frederick William " . Of the remaining two intended sisterships , both ordered from Pembroke Dockyard on 3 October 1833 , the " Algiers " was eventually completed as a 90 - gun screw battleship , while the " Victoria " was eventually completed as a 90 - gun screw battleship under the name of " Windsor Castle " . In 1842 she was visited by Queen Victoria . In 1854 , she participated in the bombardment of Sevastopol , Ukraine during the Crimean War . She was set on fire three times and eventually forced to withdraw from the action . The famous Timothy the tortoise , who was about 160 years old when she died in 2004 , was the ship ' s mascot during this time . , Between August 1858 and April 1859 the " Queen " was converted at Sheerness Dockyard to steam propulsion , being at the same time cut down from three decks to two gundecks , and re - armed as a 86 - gun ship . She was fitted with a Maudslay , Sons and Field 500 nhp engine and single screw propulsion . Now , being able to cruise at 10 . 5 knots she was commissioned into the Mediterranean Fleet until 1864 . The ship was broken up in 1871 at Surrey Canal Wharf in Rotherhithe , on the River Thames .
Hanriot HD . 19 The Hanriot HD . 19 was a military trainer aircraft produced in France in the 1920s .

While the HD . 14 and most of its derivatives were powered by rotary or radial engines , the HD . 19 had a Hispano - Suiza Vee - 8 . The aircraft was Hanriot ' s submission in a 1923 competition by the " Aéronautique Militaire " to select a new intermediate training aircraft , was found suitable by the military authorities , and was ordered into production . Some 50 examples saw service as the HD . 19 ET . 2 ( " Ecole de Transition " ) . Poland bought six aircraft HD . 19bis in 1925 and a licence to produce the type for the Polish Air Force . The production was located in WWS Samolot factory in Poznań , which built 80 examples between 1925 and 1928 , designated Hanriot H - 19 . Last 30 were improved variant H - 19a , with a water radiator placed under engine , instead of above engine . Total of 86 aircraft were used by the Polish Air Force until their withdrawal in 1935 . Single examples were also built by Hanriot for export to Japan and Czechoslovakia . The aircraft was disliked by the Polish pilots , as too difficult to fly for a training machine , among others demanding a precision landing . In addition , a water radiator was placed upon the engine , what obstructed view from a cab .

Following the Mongol invasion of Khwarezm Jalal ad - Din was forced to flee towards the Hindukush , where he began to muster additional troops to face the Mongols . With the arrival of over 30 , 000 Afghan warriors from what is now Afghanistan ; his strength reportedly rose to 60 , 000 . Though badly equipped and ill - managed being tribal Lashkar , they managed to defeat the Mongol hordes under the command of Shikhikhutug after the day long battle at Parwan in the vicinity of Ghazni . After the battle the Great Khan personally headed southwards with an army of 50 , 000 and crushed Jalal ad - din ' s army at the Battle of Indus thus completing the conquest of Afghanistan . But the Khwarezmian prince did not prove himself as able in victory as he had been in defeat . In a row over the booty ; a Mongolian white horse ; between his father - in - law and an Afghan Chief , he sided with his father - in - law . The Afghans left their camp fire burning and left the same night , despite being completely exhausted by the day ' s fighting . Finding himself without more than half of his fighting strength Jalal ad - Din retreated the next day towards the east . As he no longer had sufficient resources to last another battle , they headed towards the Indus river to the area north of the present city of Kalabagn . The Mongols caught up with him on the banks of the Indus and defeated him what in now referred to as the Battle of Indus .
Blériot - SPAD S . 510 The Blériot SPAD S . 510 was the last French biplane fighter to be produced . Development . Conceived in 1930 , this clean , open - cockpit biplane first flew in 1933 and entered service in 1936 . Performance was similar to the British Gloster Gladiator . The S . 510 ' s armament generally consisted of 4 machine guns ( installed as either a combination of 2 fuselage - mounted guns , plus 2 in under - wing gondolas or with all 4 in under - wing gondolas ) . This gave it a much heavier attack capability than most earlier biplane fighters and equalled that of the final biplanes used by the British and Italians , the Gladiator and Fiat CR . 42 Falco . The S . 510 was doomed to obsolescence before it even flew , although when it was designed many pilots and experts strongly believed that biplanes would prove better fighters than monoplanes because of their tighter turning circles . Largely overshadowed by the faster Dewoitine D . 510 monoplane , an order of 60 paircraft was placed in August 1935 when French ace pilot Louis Massot demonstrated the S . 510 to excellent effect , showing its superior maneuverability and rate of climb . Despite its strengths , the S . 510 only enjoyed about a year of usefulness . An adequate fighter for 1936 , it was quickly outclassed by the new more modern monoplanes developed by Germany , Britain , and France . It had fixed landing gear as well as a weak fuel system and undercarriage . Operational history . The S . 510 entered service in early 1936 , being assigned to the GC I / 7 in May 1937 and the GC II / 7 in July , 1938 . They were intended as transition aircraft between the Morane - Saulnier MS - 225 and the Morane - Saulnier MS - 406 and served in the Weiser Circus , a military acrobatic group . Upon the outbreak of World War 2 , the S . 510 served in reserve squadrons only . The metropolitan reserves were mobilized into the II / 561 based in Havre - Oteville . From January 18 , 1940 over a period of weeks , the S . 510s were replaced with Bloch MB . 151 aircraft , the " groupe " changing designation to GC III / 10 . The displaced S . 510s returned to their training role . Approximately ten S . 510s had been sent to French North Africa where , by the Battle of France , they were mobilized into a fighter group , the GC III / 5 , but their age allowed them to be used for training flights only . Operational history . The S . 510 saw service with the Armée de l ' Air ( 60 ) , and possibly the Spanish " Escuadrilla Internacional " ( 15 - 27 ? ) Twenty - seven examples were reported delivered to the Spanish Republican Air Force during the Spanish civil war ( sometimes the number is 15 ) , but there is no evidence that they were ever actually sent . ← S . 92 - S . 116 - S . 126 - S . 510 - S . 540 - S . 710
