Kurt Weyher Kurt August Viktor Weyher ( 30 August 1901 – 17 December 1991 ) was a Konteradmiral of the German Navy ( Kriegsmarine ) who , during World War II , commanded a merchant raider . Material on the command of the raider " Orion " was published online at . Weyher was heavily decorated during his active lifetime and progressed to Konteradmiral ( equivalent to Rear Admiral ) during the war , so he seems to have been an effective officer at the least . Although it was not mentioned in his book " The Black Raider " , it seems that Weyher was a non - trivial painter ; in a feature article author Keith Gordon tells that on the voyage of the " Orion " Weyher did about 30 paintings on subjects connected with the ship ' s activities . The one painting illustrated seems to have had narrative merit and to have represented the topographic background recognisably .

Navy version of the 47 was designated the " HTL - 4 " , and dispenses with the fabric covering on the tail boom . The U . S . Coast Guard procured three " HTL - 5 " s in 1952 ( similar to the HTL - 4 but powered by a Franklin O - 335 - 5 engine ) and used these until 1960 . The Coast Guard procured two of Bell ' s Model 47G and designated them " HUL - 1G " in 1959 . The H - 13 was used as observation helicopter early in the Vietnam War , before being replaced by the OH - 6 Cayuse . The Bell 47 was ordered by the British Army as the Sioux to meet specification H . 240 , with licensed production by Westland Helicopters . In order to comply with the terms of its licence agreement with Sikorsky Aircraft , which prevented it building a U . S . competitors aircraft , Westland licenced the Model 47 from Agusta , who had purchased a license from Bell . the first contract was for 200 helicopters .

Design . The Sioux is a three - seat observation and basic training helicopter . In 1953 the Bell 47G design was introduced . It can be recognized by the full bubble canopy , exposed welded - tube tail boom , saddle fuel tanks and skid landing gear . The H - 13 and its military variants were often equipped with medical evacuation panniers , one to each skid , with an acrylic glass shield to protect the patient from wind . A single 260 hp Lycoming VO - 435 piston engine was fitted to the 47G variant . Fuel was fed from two high - mounted external tanks . A single two - bladed rotor with short inertial stabilising minor blades was used on the Sioux . Popular culture . The Bell 47 appeared , and played key roles , in film and television productions . It has been associated with both the " M * A * S * H " film , and the " M * A * S * H " television series , and the " Whirlybirds " TV series ( 1957 – 1959 ) .

All variations of the pistol include ambidextrous decocking levers and a reversible magazine release , as well as an integrated tactical accessory rail . In addition , the FNP - 45 offers an ambidextrous slide release . According to FNH USA , the FNP line of pistols is the only polymer - framed autoloading pistol on the market ( as of its introduction ) with fully replaceable frame rails ; this allows the pistol to be rebuilt after extensive firing , thereby extending service life . ( Steyr M Series pistols also have this feature , and were released in 1999 . ) Design and operation . The FNP series weapons are hammer fired weapons utilizing a Browning cam system with an external extractor . The trigger module is housed inside the polymer frame as an individual unit connected to the hammer . The magazine release button is held in place by a retention pin which can be removed to allow the magazine release button to be reversed . The trigger pull for the FNP - 9 variant is generally 8 pounds while in double action and 3 – 4 pounds while in single action . While the lower frame is made of high - strength polymer , the slide is made of stainless steel . Generous magazine wells make reloading the weapon easy . Disassembly and reassembly of the handgun is relatively simple . To disassemble the weapon , the slide is locked to the rear and the magazine is released from the weapon . The takedown lever located to the front of the frame is rotated downwards and the slide is gently released to allow it to slip off the frame rails . Once removed , the recoil spring is removed from its couched position in the barrel and the barrel is removed . To reassemble the weapon the process is reversed with the slide being slid onto the frame rails and the takedown lever rotated up while the slide is locked to the rear . Variants . The FNP Series pistol is produced in five basic models with several different variations on each model . Each of the five models , the FNP - 45 , the FNP - 40 , the FNP - 357 , the FNP - 9 and the FNP - 9M ( discontinued ) , are offered with the following features : The FNP - 9 and FNP - 40 have also been marketed as the Browning Pro - 9 and Pro - 40 .
