Tateyama Castle History . Satomi Yoshiyori , virtually independent lord of all of the Bōsō Peninsula during the Sengoku Period , erected Tateyama Castle in 1580 to guard the entry to Edo Bay and the southern portions of his domains . After the Satomi clan was destroyed by the Tokugawa shogunate in 1614 and Tateyama Domain suppressed , the castle was allowed to fall into ruin . In 1781 , the domain was reinstated , with Inaba Masaaki as the first daimyō of Tateyama Domain under the Inaba clan . He rebuilt the fortifications of the old castle , but apparently did not erect a donjon , as his successor , Inaba Masatake was only allowed to build a " jinya " fortified residence . The Inaba clan remained in residence at Tateyama until the Meiji Restoration . The current " donjon " was reconstructed in 1982 to boost local tourism and to function as an annex to the local Tateyama City Museum . As there are no surviving records indicating the appearance of the original " donjon " , the current structure was modeled after Inuyama Castle . The interior is devoted primarily to exhibits pertaining to the epic novel " Nanso Satomi Hakkenden " , by Edo period author Takizawa Bakin . The surrounding is a popular local spot for bird - watching , and for sakura blossoms in spring .

VAW - 121 Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 121 ( VAW - 121 ) , also known as the " Bluetails " , is an Airborne Early Warning ( AEW ) and Command and Control ( CCC ) squadron operating the E - 2C Hawkeye based at Naval Air Station Norfolk . Currently a part of Carrier Air Wing 7 , the " Bluetails " deploy aboard the . History . Although officially known as the " Griffins , " VAW - 121 is more commonly known as the " Bluetails " as shown in their distinctive markings . VAW - 121 is presently assigned to Carrier Air Wing 7 ( CVW - 7 ) which it has been since it began flying the E - 2C Hawkeye in 1977 . Like VAW - 122 , VAW - 123 and VAW - 120 , VAW - 121 was created out of the " super squadron " VAW - 12 on 1 April 1967 . Until then , VAW - 12 had deployed 4 - plane detachments to accompany carrier air wings . Unlike its siblings , VAW - 121 would fly the E - 1B Tracer , deploying dets until the mid - 1970s . This was due to the fact there were still carriers in the inventory that were not configured ( USS " Franklin D . Roosevelt " ) nor capable to handle the much larger E - 2C ( essentially all those of the so - called " 27C " class such as the USS " Lexington " ) . In 1977 VAW - 121 made its first deployment as part of CVW - 7 on the newly commissioned USS " Dwight D . Eisenhower " , but it wasn ' t until the next deployment in 1980 that they really began to set records . That year saw VAW - 121 deployed for 347 days at sea with IKE / CVW - 7 setting a modern day record that would not be broken until the deployment of the USS " Theodore Roosevelt " during Operation Enduring Freedom . After returning from this extended deployment , the Bluetails were sent to Iceland to relieve the Reserve E - 2B squadrons who had picked up the North Atlantic AEW watch when the E - 3 AWACS were re - deployed to Saudi Arabia . Returning from a three - month winter deployment to Iceland , the Bluetails found themselves again in the North Atlantic conducting three CVBG operations with USS " Forrestal " and HMS " Hermes " , the later deploying with the new Sea Harrier . During the course of this three - year period , 1979 - 1981 VAW - 121 set unprecedented levels of performance by winning the COMNAVAIRLANT Battle " E " for Excellence and AEW Excellence awards for three straight years and the Chief of Naval Operations Safety " S " for two straight years . In the years since the Bluetails have been in the forefront of AEW / Battle Management from operations over Iraq to Bosnia . Along the way they have amassed an enviable flight safety record of over 40 years and 72 , 000 hours of accident free flight ops — the best of any East Coast squadron and second best in all of US Naval Aviation , an especially noteworthy achievement given their high risk operating environment .

Mikoyan - Gurevich I - 211 The Mikoyan - Gurevich I - 211 was a prototype high - altitude Soviet fighter aircraft built during World War II . It was a version of the Mikoyan - Gurevich I - 210 , itself a variant of the Mikoyan - Gurevich MiG - 3 , fitted with a Shvetsov ASh - 82 F radial engine . Its development was quite prolonged , although successful , but by the time it finished its manufacturer ' s trials in early 1944 there was no need for a high - altitude fighter and it was not worth reducing the production of existing fighters to convert a factory over to the I - 211 . Development . The I - 211 was a direct descendent of the Mikoyan - Gurevich I - 210 high - altitude fighter prototype , also known as the MiG - 3 - 82 or MiG - 9 . Late in 1941 , a decision was made to phase out production of the Mikulin AM - 35 A engine used by the MiG - 1 and MiG - 3 in favor of the Mikulin AM - 38 engine used in the Ilyushin Il - 2 . The MiG design team had already created a version of the MiG - 3 called the I - 210 using a Shvetsov ASh - 82 radial engine instead of the inline , liquid - cooled engine . A number of changes were made in order to accommodate the larger circumference of the radial engine , but the redesign of the engine cowling was a failure and the I - 210 proved to be slower than the Yak - 1 or the LaGG - 3 when it first flew on 23 July 1941 . Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich continued development and another prototype was built , the MiG I - 211 , or the MiG - 9Ye , using the improved ASh - 82F engine . Improvements from the I - 210 included aerodynamic refinements of the engine cowling , the cockpit was moved aft , the oil cooler inlets were moved to the wing roots , the oil cooler was moved entirely inside fuselage and a larger tail was fitted . It was armed with two ShVAK cannon . It weighed some less than the I - 211 , possibly due to an all - metal structure , but this cannot be confirmed . These refinements took most of 1942 to design and assembly of the I - 211 did not begin until December 1942 . Its first flight was on 24 February 1943 . The reduction in drag and in weight greatly improved performance over the I - 211 , with a top speed of at a height of and took only 4 . 0 minutes to reach an altitude of . The OKB had originally planned to build ten in the first quarter of 1943 , but the manufacturer ' s trials took an unexpectedly long time to complete and were not finished until the first quarter of 1944 . By this time there was little demand for a high - altitude fighter and the project was canceled with only a single aircraft built . Nomenclature . In a number of older books , the MiG I - 211 is called the MiG - 5 . It is now established that the MiG - 5 designation was reserved for the production version of the MiG DIS , a twin - engine fighter that did not enter production . The acronym DIS comes from " Dalnij Istrebitel Soprovozhdenya " or long - range escort fighter . Similarly the MiG - 9 designation was intended for the production version of the MiG - 3 with the ASh - 82 radial engine . This name was reused shortly afterwards for the first Mikoyan - Gurevich jet fighter .

Jacques Swaab Lieutenant Jacques Michael Swaab ( 21 April 1894 – 7 July 1963 ) was an American World War I flying ace with the 22nd Aero Squadron who was credited with ten victories . He later worked in the Hollywood film industry . World War I service . Swaab reported to the 22nd Aero Squadron on 27 August 1918 and , flying a SPAD XIII , participated in air operations during the battles at Toul , Saint - Mihiel , and the Argonne . His first combat patrol was on 8 September when he downed a German observation plane and two Fokker D . VII s , although Swaab was slightly wounded . Twenty days later , he and Lt . James Beane shot down another D . VII , garnering a victory for both of them . On 23 October , Swaab became an ace by downing a Fokker D . VII in flames at 1140 hours that had just destroyed an American balloon . This was probably flown by German ace Max Näther of Jasta 62 . Half an hour later , he knocked down a Rumpler two - seater for his sixth victory . On 27 October , he shot down a D . VII solo and shared a victory over a DFW with Clinton Jones . Two days later , he once again shared a victory claim over a D . VII with Beane . On the last day of October , he shot down an LVG observation aircraft .
