337th Flight Test Squadron The 337th Flight Test Squadron ( 337 FLTS ) was most recently part of the 46th Test Wing and based at McClellan Air Force Base , California . It performed depot acceptance testing until being inactivated with the closure of McClellan AFB on 13 July 2001 . History . Activated in 1942 at Keflavik , Iceland , equipped with P - 38 Lightnings . Mission was to intercept and destroy German planes that on occasion attempted to attack Iceland or that appeared in that area on reconnaissance missions . Returned to the United States in November 1942 as a IV Fighter Command P - 38 Lightning Replacement Training Unit ( RTU ) . Trained P - 38 pilots in California and Washington State until phaseout of Lightning training in March 1944 . Reactivated in 1953 as an Air Defense Command interceptor squadron . Performed air defense mission over Minneapolis and Upper Midwest United States , 1953 - 1955 with F - 89D Scorpion s . Re - assigned to air defense of Boston and New England with ith F - 86D Sabre Interceptor s . In 1957 began re - equipping with the North American F - 86L Sabre , an improved version of the F - 86D which incorporated the Semi Automatic Ground Environment , or SAGE computer - controlled direction system for intercepts . The service of the F - 86L destined to be quite brief , since by the time the last F - 86L conversion was delivered , the type was already being phased out in favor of supersonic interceptors . Received new F - 104A Starfighter interceptor aircraft in early 1958 , the third ADC squadron to receive the F - 104 . In addition , the squadron received the two - seat , dual - control , combat trainer F - 104B . The performance of the F - 104B was almost identical to that of the F - 104A , but the lower internal fuel capacity reduced its effective range considerably . However , the F - 104A was not very well suited for service as an interceptor . Its low range was a problem for North American air defense , and its lack of all - weather capability made it incapable of operating in conjunction with the SAGE ( Semi - Automatic Ground Environment ) system . Service with the ADC was consequently quite brief , and the F - 104As of the 337th FIS were transferred to the Air National Guard . With the transfer of the Starfighters , ADC shut down operations at Westover AFB and the 337th FIS was inactivated in July 1960 . Reactivated as an F - 4 Phantom II Tactical Fighter Squadron at Seymour Johnson AFB in 1982 - 1985 ; then as a flight test squadron at McClellan AFB . Conducted flight tests on aircraft returning to active service after depot maintenance , modification , or repair from , 1988 - 2001 . Inactivated with closure of McClellan AFB .

Boulton Paul Bittern The Boulton Paul Bittern was a 1920s British night - fighter aircraft built by Boulton Paul Limited of Norwich , named after the marsh bird of the same name . Design and development . Designed to Air Ministry Specification 27 / 24 , which called for a single - seat night fighter for use against enemy bomber aircraft , the Bittern design was unusual for its time in that it was a twin - engined shoulder wing monoplane rather than a single - engine biplane . Two prototypes were built . The first was a cantilever wing design with the engines - 214 hp Armstrong - Siddeley Lynx - on the leading edge of the wing . However initial trials showed that the wing was too flexible and so wing struts were added fixed between the bottom of the fuselage and the engine installations . However this added weight and drag with a commensurate effect on performance . The second prototype had the engines suspended from the wings on the struts . The first prototype had two fixed . 303 in ( 7 . 7 mm ) Vickers machine gun s mounted on the fuselage sides . In the second the guns were changed from Vickers to Lewis gun s mounted in swiveling barbettes on fuselage . These could be angled from 0 - 45° upwards so the fighter could attack bombers from below without having to put the aircraft into a climb . The wingspan of the second prototype was increased by about 5 ft ( 1 . 5 m ) . Both were finished in dark green with " night black " undersides for their role as " Anti - Bomber Formation Fighters " . The first prototype carried out full performance and armament trials at Martlesham Heath from March 1927 ; the second went through the same tests in April 1928 . The A & AEE reports were favourable except that the top speed - 145 mph - was rather slow . More trials were carried out before they were returned to Boulton & Paul . They were flown by the manufacturer for a while longer before being broken up . During testing performance was so poor that further development was abandoned .

Nora Fontaine Davidson Nora Fontaine Maury Davidson ( February 19 , 1836 – February 10 , 1929 ) was an American schoolteacher in Petersburg , Virginia . She is credited for holding the first Memorial Day ceremony in Petersburg , and as the inspiration for the United States ' Memorial Day . Biography . Davidson was born in Petersburg , Virginia in 1836 ; she was locally known as " Miss Nora " and lived there her entire life . With the help of her two sisters , she taught school in Petersburg for 59 years . During the war years , her school was known as the Confederate School and in the postwar years as the Davidson Seminary . Early in 1861 , Davidson headed various fund - raising projects to buy equipment for companies of soldiers forming in Petersburg . Her efforts were most successful in equipping the Ragland Guard , the unit that became Company G , 41st Virginia Infantry . She continued throughout the war to raise money for the soldiers . Davidson was among a group of Petersburg citizens to meet and entertain the first troops arriving there from other Southern states in 1861 . There were no hospitals within the city , and Davidson and others established the Ladies Hospital on Bollingbrook Street . Money raised from various entertainments went into maintaining this hospital . Miss Nora became the hospital ’ s treasurer , and continued in this capacity until the need for other hospitals arose . When the large Confederate Hospital was established at Poplar Lawn in Petersburg , she served as linen matron until the end of the war . Davidson was one of the charter members of the Petersburg ' s Ladies Memorial Association which was organized May 6 , 1866 . This association took as their objective the reburial of Confederate soldiers who fell on battlefields and were buried there . Memorial Day inspiration . Blandford Cemetery in Petersburg contained the graves of veterans of six wars , including 30 , 000 Confederate soldiers killed in the Siege of Petersburg ( 1864 – 65 ) during the American Civil War . After the war ended , Davidson and her school children went to Blandford Cemetery on June 9 , 1865 to decorate the graves of the soldiers , commemorating the 125 soldiers who died a year earlier defending Petersburg . One of the graves she cared for was that of her brother , Charles Davidson , a member of Graham ' s Horse Artillery , who died on December 25 , 1863 . While visiting the cemetery , the wife of Union General John A . Logan , observed Davidson and the students putting flowers and tiny Confederate flags on the graves of soldiers . Upon Mary Logan ' s return to Washington , D . C . and meeting her husband General Logan at the railroad station , she related the story of her visit to Petersburg and how she was moved by what she witnessed there . Upon hearing her story , General Logan , now the first Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic ( GAR ) , replied to her that he would work establish this custom of honoring fallen soldiers across the country . He issued an GAR order , establishing a National Decoration Day , which was later passed by Congress . Today it is known as Memorial Day .
