Beretta M1935 The Beretta M1935 is a compact . 32 ACP caliber blowback pistol that was manufactured by Beretta . History . In the early 1930s , the Italian army was impressed by the Walther PP pistol . Beretta did not want to lose a big Italian military contract and designed the compact M1934 for the Italian army , which accepted it in 1937 . The M1935 is simply an M1934 , modified to fire . 32ACP ammunition . Specifications . The M1935 is a single - action semi - automatic blowback pistol that fires the . 32 ACP ammunition . It is made out of carbon steel with plastic grips . It is fitted with a manual safety and when the last shot has been fired the slide is retained open by the empty magazine . The magazine capacity is 8 rounds . As this pistol was built for the Italian army , all parts were interchangeable , which simplified maintenance and manufacturing : a first at the time . Intended market . The M1935 was purpose built and designed for the Italian armed forces , however it was also sold to the civilian market and issued to the German forces in 1944 and 1945 . Design advantages . Fitted with the Beretta style open slide , the M1935 has a very reliable feeding and extraction cycle . It was made with few parts and is very simple to maintain . The M1935 is a very robust construction with long service life if properly maintained . Limitations . The . 32 ACP ammunition is somewhat under - powered for combat use . The magazine capacity of only 8 rounds and short effective range reduces the M1935 to a last resort self - defense weapon . The slide is not of the self - catching type ; the magazine retains the action to the rear . When the magazine is removed the action returns forward on an empty chamber . This slows down reloading of the pistol . World War II prize guns . The Beretta M1935 was captured in huge numbers during World War II from Italian and German armed forces by allied soldiers , who liked it because of its small size , rugged design and good construction . Many of these captured pistols are operational to this day and widespread in the US , Canada , Australia , New Zealand , France and in the United Kingdom . The M1935 is compact and easy to hide , with ammunition available for it .

Chormaqan Chormaqan ( also Chormagan or Chormaqan Noyan ) ( died 1241 ) was one of the most famous generals of the Mongol Empire under Genghis Khan and Ögedei Khan . He was also a member of the keshik . Chormaqan is mentioned in " The Secret History of Mongols " many times . He probably participated in the Mongol campaigns in North China and later in the Subutai ' s and Jebe ' s famous journey through Caucasus and Russia n steppes . Appointed by Ögedei in the winter of 1230 to renew the Mongol conquests in Persia , which had languished since Genghis Khan ' s assault on and near destruction of the Khwarezmid Empire from 1218 to 1223 . At the approach of Chormagan and the new Mongol army , the Khwarezmids under Jalal ad - Din were swept away . Further campaigns in the mid - 1230s , based from the steppes in Azerbaijan around Tabriz , firmly established the Kingdom of Georgia and Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia as vassals . It is theorized that these moves may have been made to secure communications for the attack westward led by Batu that followed shortly thereafter . Chormaqan died in 1241 and was replaced by Baiju , his lieutenant . His son Shiramun later served under the Il - khans Hulagu and Abaqa . His daughter Esukan was married to King David VII of Georgia .

Sukhoi Su - 1 The Sukhoi Su - 1 or I - 330 ( ) was a prototype Soviet high - altitude fighter aircraft built at the beginning of World War II . An improved version , designated Su - 3 ( I - 360 ) , was also built and tested the following year . Neither version was mass produced . Development . In 1939 , Sukhoi was tasked with designing a high - altitude fighter , the resulting Su - 1 was a conventional monoplane with a streamlined wooden semi - monocoque fuselage , low - set all - metal wing made of duralumin and un - pressurized cockpit . The key feature of the aircraft was a pair of TK - 2 turbochargers driven by exhaust gases from the Klimov M - 105 P engine . The prototype was completed at the Sukhoi plant in Kharkov in May 1940 , flying for the first time , on 15 June 1940 , with A . P . Chernyavsky at the controls . Testing continued until 3 August , when Chernavskii mistakenly landed with the landing gear retracted . After the completion of repairs in mid - September , testing resumed , but an in - flight engine failure on 2 October resulted in a dead - stick landing . Limited flight testing continued until April 1941 , with the Su - 1 reaching a top speed of 641 km / h ( 345 kn , 400 mph ) at 10 , 000 m ( 32 , 810 ft ) . However , the turbochargers proved unreliable and without them the aircraft was inferior in performance to the Yakovlev Yak - 1 . Su - 3 . The second Su - 1 prototype , built as the Su - 3 , differed in having a revised wing section with wing area reduced to 17 m² ( 183 ft² ) . Completed in 1941 , the Su - 3 demonstrated better performance than the Su - 1 , but suffered from continuing problems with the TK - 2 turbochargers . Further development was cancelled on 16 April 1941 , when production of reliable TK - 2 turbo - chargers was delayed . The fate of the two prototype aircraft is uncertain . According to some reports , the Su - 1 was destroyed during the bombing of a train near Novosibirsk , while the Su - 3 was destroyed within the city of Novosibirk during the Great Patriotic War .

Battle of Reading ( 871 ) The first Battle of Reading was a battle on 4 January 871 at Reading in what is now the English county of Berkshire . It was one of a series of battles , with honours to both sides , that took place following an invasion of the then kingdom of Wessex by an army of Danes led by Bagsecg and Halfdan Ragnarsson in an attempt to conquer Wessex . Both battle and campaign are described in the Anglo - Saxon Chronicle , and this account provides the earliest known written record of the existence of the town of Reading . The Danes had established a camp at Reading , defended by the Thames and Kennet rivers on two sides , and by a rampart on the western side . Three days after their arrival , a party of Danes rode out towards nearby Englefield , where a West Saxon force under the command of Æthelwulf , the Ealdorman of the shire , was waiting for them . In the ensuing Battle of Englefield many of the Danes were killed , and the rest driven back to Reading . Four days later , Æthelwulf had been joined by the main West Saxon army , led by King Æthelred and his brother , Alfred the Great . The entire Saxon force marched on Reading . The assault was directed mainly at a gateway through the ramparts , and fierce and bloody fighting followed , before the attack was repulsed . Among the many dead of both sides was Æthelwulf . The Saxon forces were forced to retreat , allowing the Danes to continue their advance into Wessex . Following the Battle of Reading , Æthelred and Alfred reformed their army , and a few days later won a famous victory at the Battle of Ashdown , forcing the Danes to retreat to Reading once more . Two weeks later the Danes won the Battle of Basing , and then , on 22 March , the Battle of Marton . In April Æthelred died , to be succeeded by Alfred . The Danish army remained in Reading until late in 871 , when they retreated to winter quarters in London , and much of King Alfred ' s 28 - year reign was taken up with the Danish conflict .
