The runway was enlarged to approximately and about sixty aircraft dispersal bays , some with earthen revetments . During its operational use Fenton Airfield was a major airfield , being headquarters for many Royal Australian Air Force Squadrons , and United States Army and Air Force units . Reconnaissance flights were flown over Timor Island , New Guinea and Celebres Islands , and attacks and armed reconnaissance missions were carried out against Japanese airfields , ground installations and shipping .

In aerial photographs , the remains of some roads that probably led to dispersed parts of the base away from the operations area such as the bomb dump and the administrative containment area are faintly visible , but no structures exist .
Sebasteia ( theme ) The Theme of Sebasteia ( ) was a military - civilian province ( " thema " or theme ) of the Byzantine Empire located in northeastern Cappadocia and Armenia Minor , in modern Turkey . It was first established as a theme in 911 and endured until its fall to the Seljuk Turks in the aftermath of the Battle of Manzikert in 1071 . History . The theme was formed around the city of Sebasteia ( modern Sivas ) . The region formed part of the Armeniac Theme from the mid - 7th century . The theme is not mentioned in any source prior to the 10th century . In 908 , Sebasteia appears for the first time as a distinct " kleisoura " ( a fortified frontier district ) , and by 911 it had been raised to the status of a full theme . The theme comprised the entirety of the Byzantine frontier regions along the middle course of the northern Euphrates . With the expansion of the Byzantine frontier , it was extended south and east as far as Melitene , Samosata and Tephrike , corresponding roughly to the ancient Roman provinces of Armenia Prima and parts of Armenia Secunda and Syria Euphratensis . After the mid - 10th century , however , its extent was much reduced by the creation of new smaller themes . In the 10th century , the region experienced a great influx of Armenians , who became the dominant population . After 1019 / 1021 , Sebasteia and adjoining lands were given as a fief to the Armenian Seneqerim Ardzruni , in exchange for the cession to the Empire of his kingdom of Vaspurakan . From c . 1074 , following the Byzantine defeat against the Seljuk Turks at Manzikert in 1071 , the Ardzruni ruled the territory as independent lords , until it was conquered by the Turks around 1090 .

Women in warfare and the military in the ancient era Warfare throughout written history mainly has been portrayed in modern times as a matter for men , but women also have played a role . Until very recently , little mention of these exploits was included in retellings of history in most countries , aside from the Amazons . Female deities , whose origins predate historical records , are present in most early cultures . Often they were portrayed as warrior s , which signals a pervasive presence of women among such activities prior to a profound change in many human cultures after the adoption of agriculture as the typical sustenance ( and which enabled protracted warfare with large armies ) . Their influences , the roles of women rulers , and those of significant women warriors , were retained in many of these cultures so strongly that no layers of new legends , ideals , and myths were able to obscure them completely . The following is a partial list of prominent women who participated in warfare , as well as the tales of many women warriors and their exploits , which was assembled from the fragmentary beginning of written records to approximately 500 AD Archaeological research provides more details and clues regularly .
