Million - dollar wound A million - dollar wound or Blighty wound is military slang referring to a type of wound received in combat which is serious enough to get the person sent away from the fighting , but is not fatal , nor will it leave the person permanently crippled . This was referenced in the 1994 film " Forrest Gump " referring to Tom Hanks ' character being shot in the buttocks and getting sent home from the Vietnam War . In the book , Max Allan Collins also explains that it was originally called the " Hollywood wound " . A similar concept is the Blighty wound , a British reference from World War I . Joseph Heller uses the expression in his 1961 novel Catch 22 when his hero , Yossarian , suffers a leg wound and calls it a million - dollar wound . science fiction author Dean Whitlock wrote a 1987 short story titled " The Million - Dollar Wound " about a future war in which , as the conflict progresses , increasingly severe wounds are and prosthetically repaired , until eventually , the only way for a soldier to be sent home is to die .
443d Airlift Wing The 443d Airlift Wing ( 443d AW ) is an inactive unit of the United States Air Force . Its last assignment was with Air Mobility Command , being stationed at Altus Air Force Base , Oklahoma . It was inactivated on October 1 , 1992 . History . Established and trained as a Reserve troop carrier wing under supervision of the 2596th Air Force Reserve Training Center , June 1949 – April 1951 . The 443d was brought to active duty at Donaldson AFB , South Carolina on August 9 , 1951 as a training wing by Tactical Air Command . For almost two years , the 443d participated in tactical exercises in operations , training troop carrier aircrews using C - 46 Commandos for assignment to the Far East and worked closely with other troop carrier groups to test and evaluate new troop carrier doctrine and procedures . With the end of the Korean War , the 443d was inactivated on June 8 , 1953 . In January 1966 , Military Airlift Command ( MAC ) reactivated the 443d at Altus AFB , Oklahoma , replacing the inactivated Military Air Transport Service 1707th Air Transport Wing , Heavy . The 443d became the primary USAF wing charged with training air and ground crews of C - 124 Globemaster II and the new C - 141 Starlifter heavy transports , while simultaneously maintaining a capability to perform airlift operations worldwide . With the retirement of the prop - driven C - 124 Globemaster II from active service , training diminished in 1967 and ceased in 1968 , being replaced by training air and ground crews on the new C - 5 Galaxy very heavy lift transport in 1969 . The wing performed this training mission until 1992 when C - 5 and C - 141 training was consolidated after the end of the Cold War . Air Mobility Command reorganized Air Force Airlift units in 1992 and the 443d was inactivated on October 1 , 1992 as part of the Air Force Heritage program , where notable units were retained and reassigned after the Cold War . The new 97th Air Mobility Wing , a former Eighth Air Force World War II bombardment group and later Strategic Air Command bomb Wing absorbed the personnel , equipment and aircraft of the 443d upon its inactivation in an administrative transfer .

They were used for riding , but could also be trained for war . It was not unknown for them to be used as pack horse s . Use in warfare . While the destrier is the most well - known warhorse of the Medieval era , it was the least common , and coursers were often preferred for hard battles . They were both expensive , highly trained horses prized by knight s and nobles , and the poorer knight , squire or man - at - arms would use a rouncey for fighting . A wealthy knight would provide rounceys for his retinue . Sometimes the expected nature of warfare dictated the choice of horse ; when a summons to war was sent out in England , in 1327 , it expressly requested rounceys , for swift pursuit , rather than destriers .

This was an initiative of the " Reichsluftfahrtministerium " ( Germany Air Ministry ) , RLM , to obtain a long - range bomber for the " Luftwaffe " that would be capable of striking the continental United States from Germany . Requests for designs were made to the major German aircraft manufacturers early in World War II , long before the US had entered the war . Designs . There were a several different configurations of the design considered , the most striking being the E . 555 - 1 .

Blackburn Cubaroo The Blackburn T . 4 Cubaroo was a prototype British biplane torpedo bomber of the 1920s . Built by Blackburn Aircraft and intended to carry a large 21 in ( 533 mm ) torpedo , the Cubaroo was one of the largest single - engined aircraft of the world at the time of its first flight . Design and development . In 1921 , the British Air Ministry issued Specification 8 / 21 to Blackburn for a " Coastal Defence Torpedo Aeroplane " , the resulting design was designated the T . 4 Cubaroo . Due to the change of policy in the Air Ministry to favour a twin - engined design a new sepcification was issued in 1922 , the British Air Ministry drew up Specification 16 / 22 , for a long - range torpedo bomber capable of carrying a 21 in ( 533 mm ) torpedo ( which was at the time thought capable of sinking the largest warship ) over a range of 800 mi ( 1 , 300 km ) . Major F . A Bumpus , chief designer of Blackburn Aircraft submitted the design for the Blackburn T . 4 Cubaroo , which was a large biplane powered by a single example of the new 1 , 000 hp ( 750 kW ) Napier Cub engine . Avro also submitted a design against this specification , the Avro 557 Ava , which was a similarly large biplane , powered by two 600 hp ( 450 kW ) Rolls - Royce Condor engines . In order to carry the heavy ( over 2 , 000 lb / 907 kg ) torpedo over a long range , the Cubaroo was massive . With a wingspan of 88 ft ( 27 m ) , it may have been the largest single - engine military aircraft in the world at the time , and was fitted with the most powerful aircraft engine available , the Napier Cub , which was an unusual X - type engine which weighed over a ton excluding radiators . The Cubaroo , with a mainly metal structure , had a deep fuselage to accommodate the Cub engine , and was fitted with folding , two - bay wings . In order to allow the torpedo to be carried , the Cubaroo was fitted with a main undercarriage comprising two sets of two wheels , with the torpedo being carried on a crutch between the two sets of wheels . Operational history . The first prototype ( with serial " N166 " ) flew in secrecy in the summer of 1924 , proving to have good handling characteristics , with the engine not causing problems ( the Cub had already been test flown in an Avro Aldershot test bed ) . It was then fitted with a metal , three - blade adjustable - pitch propeller and was delivered for testing at RAF Martlesham Heath , but was written off after its undercarriage collapsed on 2 February 1925 . A second prototype flew in 1925 , but the Air Ministry abandoned the requirement for a torpedo bomber to carry the 21 in ( 533 mm ) torpedo , and lost interest in single - engine heavy bomber s , so the second prototype Cubaroo was used as an engine test bed , flying with the experimental 1 , 100 hp ( 820 kW ) Beardmore Simoon compression ignition engine .
