Farman F . 50 The Farman F . 50 was a French twin - engined tactical night bomber designed and built by Farman as a replacement for the single - engined Voisin pusher biplanes in service with the French Air Force . Development . The twin - engined F . 50 flew for the first time in early 1918 , powered by two Lorraine 8Bb engines , as an unequal - span biplane with a slab - sided fuselage and a single fin and rudder .

It was equipped with a 7 . 7 mm machine gun forward and aft . The two engines , Lorraine 8Bd V - 8s on production aircraft , were mounted between the wings using vee bracing struts . With the Armistice , production was less than 100 aircraft , but the company designed a passenger conversion for civil use , designated F . 50P , with the fuselage behind the cockpit raised and enclosed to create a glazed cabin for up to five passengers . One example was used by Compagnie des Grands Express Aeriens from July 1920 from Paris to London and Amsterdam . Operational history . With the military designation Bn . 2 ( 2 - seat night bomber ) the aircraft were delivered to squadrons within 1e Groupe de Bombardement .

Wakizashi The meaning " side inserted sword " ) is one of the traditionally made Japanese sword s ( ) worn by the samurai class in feudal Japan . Description . The " wakizashi " has a blade between 30 and 60 cm ( 12 and 24 in ) , with " wakizashi " close to the length of a " katana " being called " o - wakizashi " and " wakizashi " closer to " tantō " length being called " ko - wakizashi " . The " wakizashi " being worn together with the " katana " was the official sign that the wearer was a samurai or swordsman of feudal Japan . When worn together the pair of swords were called " daishō " , which translates literally as " big - little " . The katana was the " big " or " long " sword and the wakizashi the companion sword . " Wakizashi " are not necessarily just a smaller version of the " katana " ; they could be forged differently and have a different cross section . History and use . Wakizashi have been in use as far back as the 15th or 16th century . The " wakizashi " was used as a backup or auxiliary sword ; it was also used for close quarters fighting , to behead a defeated opponent and sometimes to commit ritual suicide . The " wakizashi " was one of several short swords available for use by samurai including the " yoroi tōshi " , the " chisa - katana " and the " tantō " . The term " wakizashi " did not originally specify swords of any official blade length and was an abbreviation of " wakizashi no katana " ( " sword thrust at one ' s side " ) ; the term was applied to companion swords of all sizes . It was not until the Edo period in 1638 when the rulers of Japan tried to regulate the types of swords and the social groups which were allowed to wear them that the lengths of " katana " and " wakizashi " were officially set . Kanzan Satō , in his book titled " The Japanese Sword " , notes that there did not seem to be any particular need for the wakizashi and suggests that the wakizashi may have become more popular than the tanto due to the wakizashi being more suited for indoor fighting . He mentions the custom of leaving the katana at the door of a castle or palace when entering while continuing to wear the wakizashi inside . While the wearing of " katana " was limited to the samurai class , " wakizashi " of legal length ( " ko - wakizashi " ) could be carried by the " chonin " class which included merchants . This was common when traveling due to the risk of encountering bandits . " Wakizashi " were worn on the left side , secured to the waist sash ( " " ) .
