In 1931 , in response to a United States Army Air Corps requirement for a new observation aircraft , Curtiss designed the Model 62 , a single - engined biplane with the lower wing much smaller than the upper , known as a sesquiplane ( i . e . " one - and - a - half wings " ) , while the outer panels of the upper wings were swept back to avoid centre - of - gravity problems . It was of all - metal construction , with a monocoque fuselage and had a retractable tailwheel undercarriage with inwards retracting mainwheels , and was powered by a Wright Cyclone radial engine . The crew of two sat in tandem in open cockpits . A prototype , designated YO - 40 , flew in February 1932 . Although it crashed in May that year , it was re - built with stronger wings and an enclosed cockpit as the YO - 40A . A further four YO - 40As were ordered , but they were redesigned as monoplanes by removing the lower wing , the resultant aircraft being designated Y1O - 40B . Operational history . The four Y1O - 40Bs were delivered in June 1933 , and after service tests , were redesignated O - 40B , being operated by the 1st Observation Squadron of the USAAC .

In 1872 he decided to donate some land for the use of a Confederate cemetery . Various troops were reinterred here , and the monument was placed as the focus point of this small cemetery . In 1872 , a public subscription sought funds to build a memorial in memory of the Confederate soldiers located there . The original monument , which cost $ 500 , was a simple granite obelisk with inscription and a small base . On June 3 , 1911 , over 4 , 000 people from the surrounding counties gathered for Confederate Decoration Day at the monument , with the keynote speakers being ex - Union officers . The monument eventually fell into disrepair . It would be restored in the 1930s , with the enclosure gone and the obelisk placed on a wide concrete base . The state of Michigan has a historical marker at the site as well , commemorating the Union soldiers from Michigan who defended the area ; most were immigrants from the Netherlands , and were given their battle commands in Dutch . On July 17 , 1997 , the Confederate Monument in Harrodsburg was one of sixty - one different monuments related to the Civil War in Kentucky placed on the National Register of Historic Places , as part of the Civil War Monuments of Kentucky Multiple Property Submission .

Yakovlev ' s entry was a series of designs submitted under the designation Yak - 45 . Development . The Yak - 45 would have been powered by two Favorski Type 69 non - vectoring turbofan engines with afterburner . Dervived from the R - 28 , they were rated at 8 , 000 kg ( 17 , 635 lb ) thrust each . The engines would have been positioned ahead of a large delta wing , with an additional large canard foreplane , giving the aircraft an appearance similar to the Saab Viggen .
