Belleville Air Force Station Belleville Air Force Station is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station . It is located southeast of Belleville , Illinois . It was closed in 1968 . History . Belleville AFS was one of twenty - eight stations built as part of the second segment of the Air Defense Command permanent radar network , primarily to provide air defense radar coverage for Saint Louis and Scott Air Force Base . Prompted by the start of the Korean War , on July 11 , 1950 , the Secretary of the Air Force asked the Secretary of Defense for approval to expedite construction of the permanent network . Receiving the Defense Secretary ’ s approval on July 21 , the Air Force directed the Corps of Engineers to proceed with construction . On 1 May 1951 the 798th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron began operations . The site initially used AN / CPS - 4 and AN / FPS - 3 radars , and initially the station functioned as a Ground - Control Intercept ( GCI ) and warning station . As a GCI station , the squadron ' s role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit ' s radar scopes . The AN / FPS - 3 remained in operation until 1963 ( at which time it presumably was upgraded to an AN / FPS - 20 ) . The United States Army established Army Air - Defense Command Post ( AADCP ) SL - 47DC for Nike Missile air - defense system , St . Louis Defense Area in 1959 at Belleville . During 1962 Belleville AFS joined the Semi Automatic Ground Environment ( SAGE ) system , feeding data to DC - 07 at Truax Field , Wisconsin . After joining , the squadron was redesignated as the 798th Radar Squadron ( SAGE ) on 1 March 1962 . The radar squadron provided information 24 / 7 the SAGE Direction Center where it was analyzed to determine range , direction altitude speed and whether or not aircraft were friendly or hostile . On 31 July 1963 , the site was redesignated as NORAD ID Z - 70 . In 1963 two AN / FPS - 6 height - finder radars also stood guard . Later , during the mid - 1960s , this site operated with an AN / FPS - 66 search radar . In addition to the main facility , Belleville operated five unmanned AN / FPS - 18 Gap Filler sites : The 798th Radar Squadron was discontinued along with the Army Command Post on 18 June 1968 ; the station was closed on 30 June . Today the former radar station has been redeveloped into a Vocational rehabilitation center . Most of the former military buildings are still in use . There is a small memorial on the site for its military use .
Prize of war A prize of war is a piece of military property seized by the victorious party after a war or battle , typically at sea . This term was used nearly exclusively in terms of a captured ship during the 18th and 19th centuries . Rules defining how prizes were claimed and administered originated before there were organized government navies and were an outgrowth of privateering . Prizes of war at sea are unlikely in major modern conflicts due to changes in the way wars are fought and financed , international law and oversight , and the possibility of a prize being booby trapped . However the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 do allow for war materiel to be claimed as trophies of war as does US law . Prizes in World War II included a German submarine later called HMS Graph , and U - 505 which was captured by elements of the United States Navy in a task force commanded by then - Captain Daniel V . Gallery . U - 505 currently is a museum ship in Chicago . Although not taken in combat , two Gorch Fock class barques were confiscated from Germany as reparation prizes at the conclusion of World War II , one of which remains in US service as the USCGC Eagle . Quantities of Iraqi military materiel captured during the Gulf War is held by US museums Materiel captured as a result of the Falklands War was reused by the British Armed Forces . This included two Agusta A109 helicopters captured by the British Army from the Argentine Army which were used by the Army Air Corps until 2007 .

The 23rd Division was formed in Kumamoto on 4 April 1938 as the first reserve division for the Second Sino - Japanese War . The 23rd Division was almost immediately sent to the northern frontier of Manchukuo , where it replaced a cavalry brigade on garrison duties in Hailar ( in what is now part of Inner Mongolia ) . The 23rd Division was thus the primary Japanese division involved in the subsequent Battle of Nomonhan against the Soviet Union ' s Red Army from May – September 1939 . In this campaign , which was a disaster for the Imperial Japanese army , the 23rd Division suffered from 11 , 958 men killed , or about 80 % of its combat strength , including most of its regimental commanders . Commanding General Michitaro Komatsubara was recalled to Japan in disgrace . The remnants of the 23rd Division returned to Japan , and were assigned to assist the No . 8 Border Defense Force ( the future IJA 119th Division ) in 1940 . In 1944 , by then back up to strength , the 23rd Division was reassigned to garrison duties in Taiwan . However , with the situation in the Philippines against the United States in the Pacific War becoming ever more precarious , the 23rd Division was reassigned to Luzon , under control of the Japanese 14th Area Army . It suffered heavy losses when the convoy transporting it ( Convoy HI - 81 ) was attacked in mid - November 1944 . It arrived just in time to engage in combat against the Americans during the Invasion of Lingayen Gulf . At this battle , and in subsequent combat against the combined American and Philippine Commonwealth armed forces during the Battle of Luzon through March 1945 , the 23rd Division suffered 24 , 508 killed in combat , out of a total strength of 29 , 636 men .

22nd Air Landing Division ( Wehrmacht ) The 22nd Infantry Division was a German infantry division in World War II . History . Created as 22 . Infanterie - Division in 1935 , one regiment participated in the invasion of Poland ; the rest of the division stayed in garrison on the Siegfried Line in case of a French attack in defense of Poland . The division retrained as 22 . Luftlande - Division ( " Air Landing Division " ) for rapid tactical deployment to captured enemy airbases and performed in that role during the invasion of the Netherlands suffering heavy losses , and afterward advanced into France operating as ordinary ground infantry . Though planned for use in its air - landing role for the Battle of Crete , it was replaced by another division at the last minute . It joined Army Group South in Operation Barbarossa ( 1941 ) , attacking from Romania and , operating exclusively as ordinary ground infantry , helped storm Sevastopol in the Crimea ( 1942 ) . The unit was thereafter transferred to Crete for garrison duty and mop - up operations in the Aegean , playing a major role in the Battle of Leros . During September 1943 , forces of the unit committed numerous atrocities in Viannos . On 26 April 1944 the divisional commander , Generalmajor Heinrich Kreipe , was abducted by a British Special Operations Executive team led by Major Patrick Leigh Fermor and Capt Bill Stanley Moss . Kreipe ' s car was ambushed at night on the way from the divisional headquarters at Ano Archanes to the Villa Ariadne at Knossos and he was taken cross - country over the mountains to the south coast where he and his captors were picked up by a British vessel near Rodakino on 14 May . This operation was later portrayed in the book " Ill Met by Moonlight " ( 1950 ) written by Moss based on his wartime diaries , later adapted as a film of the same name . Withdrawn to the mainland in autumn 1944 , the 22 . Infanterie - Division spent the rest of the war in anti - partisan operations in southeastern Europe , was renamed 22 . Volksgrenadier - Division in March 1945 , and surrendered to Yugoslav forces at the end of the war in May . References .

Priscilla ( sloop ) Priscilla is a classic oyster dredging sloop that was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006 . It is berthed near the " Modesty " , another National Historic Landmark sloop at the Long Island Maritime Museum . History . On Saturday , April 7 , 1888 , Elisha Saxton launched his brand new working sloop , " Priscilla " on the Patchogue River . Saxton had built " Priscilla " for George Rhinehart of Lawrence , New York , who named the boat for his wife , Priscilla . From 1888 to 1963 , " Priscilla " was owned and operated by several oystermen from Connecticut and New York . During these years , she experienced many changes . The oystermen spoke of " Pris " as a fast , able and " smart " boat - a " money maker " because , unlike other boats , she could dredge well in both light and heavy winds . By 1963 , the oyster beds were completely exhausted or covered with silt from storms and hurricanes of the previous decades . " Priscilla " was one of the last of the Chesapeake Bay . From 1963 to 1976 , " Priscilla " became a cruising sailboat after much hull and interior restoration . Her owner , John Woodside , sailed " Priscilla " several times to the Bahamas and to Maine . In the early 1970s , he schooner - rigged her , copying the sail plan of the famous schooner America . In 1976 , John Woodside donated her to the Suffolk Marine Museum , which is known today as The Long Island Maritime Museum . As the largest vessel in our collection , " Priscilla " has traveled the Great South Bay visiting various ports of call , and has participated in special regattas held for classic vessels . In 1986 , she participated in the Parade of Tall Ships at the Salute to the Statue of Liberty Fourth of July Celebration in New York Harbor , receiving featured television coverage by WABC - TV .

Osborne B . Wiseman Osborne Beeman Wiseman ( 20 February 1915 – 4 June 1942 ) was a naval aviator United States Navy during World War II who was awarded the Navy Cross posthumously for his heroism in the Battle of Midway . Biography . Wiseman was born on 20 February 1915 in Zanesville , Ohio . He was appointed to the United States Naval Academy on 22 June 1934 , and graduated on 2 June 1938 . After sea duty in the aircraft carrier and the destroyer , Wiseman was transferred to the Naval Air Station Pensacola , Florida , for flight training . Detached on 17 March 1941 , having won his wings , Wiseman joined Bombing Squadron 3 ( VB - 3 ) , embarked in " Saratoga " . After that carrier was torpedo ed by the off Oahu on 11 January 1942 and sent to the Puget Sound Navy Yard , Bremerton , Washington , for repairs and alterations , her aviation units were transferred ashore to operate from Ford Island . When returned to Pearl Harbor for repair of the damage sustained early in May at the Battle of the Coral Sea , her units were transferred from the ship and replaced by some of " Saratoga " ' s old units — Bombing Squadron 3 , Torpedo Squadron 3 ( VT - 3 ) , and Fighting Squadron 3 ( VF - 3 ) . Wiseman reported on board " Yorktown " in time to take part in the pivotal Battle of Midway . On the first day of the carrier action , 4 June , Lt . ( j . g . ) Wiseman flew two sorties — one against the carrier that morning and one against that afternoon .

In that melee , Wiseman ' s plane was shot down . Neither he nor his gunner were seen again . Having played a major part in turning the tide of the war in the Pacific , Lt . ( jg . ) Wiseman was awarded the Navy Cross , posthumously , for his heroism and devotion to duty . Namesake . In 1943 , the destroyer escort was named in honor of Lt . ( jg . ) Wiseman , sponsored by his widow , Mrs . June Holton .
Sagittarii Sagittarii ( Latin , plural form of " Sagittarius " ) is the Latin term for archers . The term sagittariorum in the title of an infantry or cavalry unit indicated a specialized archer regiment . Regular auxiliary units of foot and horse archers appeared in the Roman army during the early empire . During the Principate roughly two thirds of all bowmen were foot and one third horse archers . While mercenary foot archers already served with the Roman republican army , horse archers were only introduced after the Romans came into conflict with eastern factions that relied heavily on mounted archery in the 1st century BCE . Most notably the Parthians which mounted archers were decisive for Crassus disastrous defeat in the Battle of Carrhae . In the early 1st century CE horse archers were already in widespread use and even supported Roman campaigns against the Germanic tribes in northern Europe . The normal weapon of Roman archers , both infantry and cavalry units , was the composite bow , although Vegetius recommends training recruits " arcubus ligneis " , with wooden bows , which may have been made in the northern European longbow tradition . It has been suggested that most Roman composite bows may have been asymmetric , with lower limbs shorter than the upper . By the 5th century , there were numerous Roman cavalry regiments trained to use the bow as a supplement to their swords and lances , but the sagittarii appeared to have used the bow as their primary rather than supplemental weapon . According to the Notitia Dignitatum , most units of sagittarii , especially equites sagittarii , were in the Eastern empire or in Africa . Possibly some of the other cavalry regiments there carried bows as back - up weapons , but were not the dedicated mounted archers that the sagittarii were . The use of bows as a primary weapon probably originated in the East in the later 4th and earlier 5th centuries to help the Roman Army counter Persian and Hunnic bow - armed cavalry . By the time of Procopius ' s histories and Maurikios ' s Strategikon , the main effective field arm of Roman armies was cavalry , many of them armed with bows . After the fall of the Western empire , Eastern Roman armies maintained their tradition of horse archery for centuries .
