On introduction , they were the fastest commercial airliners of their day . They were used on routes from the Great Lakes to Texas . Bowen Airlines of Texas also operated the type . By 1936 , they were sold , having been replaced with twin - engined aircraft when the Bureau of Air Commerce severely limited the use of single engine airliners . V - 1ADs were operated by several private companies or individuals as high - speed executive aircraft . The sole V - 1AD Special was used prewar by newspaper magnate Randolph Hearst . It later served airlines in Panama and Nicaragua before returning to the United States postwar . Fitted with twin floats and extra fuel tanks , the sole V - 1AS Special was sold to the Soviet Union and used for a 10 , 000 mile Santa Monica to Moscow flight .

Airbus A310 MRTT The Airbus A310 Multi Role Tanker Transport ( MRTT ) is an aerial refueling tanker aircraft based on the civilian Airbus A310 . Previously , the A310 has been operated as a pure transport aircraft . Design and development . The A310 Multi Role Tanker Transport ( MRTT ) is a military derivative of the Airbus A310 airliner . It is designed as a dual - role air refueling tanker and cargo transport aircraft . The aircraft are manufactured and modified by EADS / Airbus . The conversion involves The design of the pod and wing reinforcements and systems was subcontracted to ITD SA , at that time part of the ITP Group . The Luftwaffe was the first customer for the MRTT , converting four of their seven A310s . The RCAF converted two of their five A310s , which are known as the CC - 150 Polaris in Canadian service , to MRTT configuration . While the current MRTTs rely on probe / drogue refueling , EADS has invested $ 90m in research and development of a boom refueling system such as that used by the USAF . They are now able to offer tankers from the A310 with refueling pods to the larger A330 MRTT equipped with refueling booms . A310 MRTT is somewhat smaller than the A330 MRTT . Since production of A310 airframes is over , it can only be made from refurbished airliners , or as an upgrade to A310s already used by air forces ( option chosen by Germany and Canada ) . As a tanker , it has similar fuel capacity to KC - 135R . Because of the larger cabin it is much more flexible , offering good capacity for cargo , troop transport , VIP transport or other uses , and lacking only the capacity to land on rough strips to qualify as a strategic transport . Airbus hopes to sell it to some of the countries that need to replace the Boeing 707s they use as tankers . First operational use with German Luftwaffe took place on February 4 , 2009 , when three German Eurofighter Typhoons were refuelled by A310 MRTT tanker aircraft during their deployment from Laage Airbase ( Rostock , Germany ) to Yelahanka Airbase ( Bangalore , India ) . Pakistan has also ordered MRTT capability built on an A310 , although the aircraft is no longer in production .

After reaching an intermediate objective during a counterattack against a heavily entrenched and numerically superior hostile force occupying ground on a bitterly contested outpost far in advance of the main line of resistance , HC Hammond ' s platoon was subjected to a murderous barrage of hostile mortar and artillery fire , followed by a vicious assault by onrushing enemy troops . Resolutely advancing through the veritable curtain of fire to aid his stricken comrades , HC Hammond moved among the stalwart garrison of marines and , although critically wounded himself , valiantly continued to administer aid to the other wounded throughout an exhausting 4 - hour period .
