After German infantry failed to clear the area with mortar fire , artillery support was requested . Though Knappe was the Battalion Adjutant and it was not his duty to man the gun , he moved up to the front with the infantry . Because the area was wooded , the 105 mm gun had to be brought up and fired almost at point blank range directly into the house .

It was an all - metal tailless shoulder - wing swept monoplane , with the vertical control surfaces instead located near the tips of the wings . The short , stubby fuselage was fitted with retractable tricycle landing gear . Power was provided by four I . Ae . 16 El Gaucho radial engines mounted within the wings and driving pusher propellers mounted clear of the wing trailing edge . The two - man cockpit was faired into the leading edge of the wing . A cargo compartment within and below the wing was capable of carrying 6100 kg ( 13 , 448 lb ) of freight using a rear access door . The prototype was completed in 1959 , however problems with engine cooling delayed the first flight to 9 December 1960 . Horten was forced to use the IA 16 engines which were below the power rating of the intended powerplants . As a result , the craft was severely underpowered and showed a poor performance . After the project was cancelled , the IA 38 found its way into the grounds of the Aeronautical School , where it was used as a static display until a fire destroyed the aircraft ' s skin ( suspected to have been an act of arson ) . The remains of the plane were scrapped afterwards .

Blackburn Twin Blackburn The Blackburn TB ( for " Twin Blackburn " ) was one of the most specialized aircraft ever constructed - a long - range twin - engined anti - Zeppelin seaplane . It was Blackburn ' s first multi - engine aircraft to fly . Design and development . The first attacks by German bombing airships on the United Kingdom in the winter of 1914 - 15 resulted in the British Admiralty issuing a requirement for a two - seat aircraft with long endurance to attack Zeppelin s by dropping incendiary Ranken dart s onto the airships in the hope of igniting their gas envelopes , with an order for nine Blackburn TBs being placed in March 1915 . The TB was a seaplane with twin fuselages , situated 10 ft ( 3 . 35 m ) apart , with the pilot in one fuselage and the observer in the other , having no means of communication other than hand signals . Each of the twin fuselages was a wooden structure with fabric covering , with a tractor engine in front of each fuselage . It had fabric - covered , wooden unstaggered , unswept and unequal - span wings . The upper wing extension was wire braced to steel pylons above the wing . The Blackburn had ailerons on the upper wings only . Although it was intended that the TB would be powered by two 150 hp ( 112 kW ) Smith Static radial engines , which promised low weight and good fuel consumption , these proved to be unsatisfactory , and 100 hp ( 75 kW ) Gnome Monosoupape 9 Type B - 2 had to be substituted , this allowing the first aircraft to fly in August 1915 . Testing showed that the two Gnome engines gave insufficient power , with the aircraft being unable to climb above 8 , 000 ft ( 2 , 438 m ) carrying the required three canisters of 24 1 lb ( . 5 kg ) Ranken darts . The weapon load was therefore reduced to two canisters . The ninth ( and final ) TB was fitted with 110 hp ( 80 kW ) Clerget engines with the hope of improving performance . This modification was found to have little effect . Operational history . Seven TBs were delivered to the Royal Naval Air Service . They did not see much action , four serving for a short time at RNAS Killingholme in 1917 . All seven , together with the remaining two that were held in store , were broken up in 1917 .
