Citation : For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life , above and beyond the call of duty , on August 23 , 1944 . S / Sgt . Carey , leader of a machinegun section , was advancing with his company in the attack on the strongly held enemy hill 154 , near Plougastel , Brittany , France . The advance was held up when the attacking units were pinned down by intense enemy machinegun fire from a pillbox 200 yards up the hill . From his position covering the right flank , S / Sgt . Carey displaced his guns to an advanced position and then , upon his own initiative , armed himself with as many hand grenades as he could carry and without regard for his personal safety started alone up the hill toward the pillbox . Crawling forward under its withering fire , he proceeded 150 yards when he met a German rifleman whom he killed with his carbine . Continuing his steady forward movement until he reached grenade - throwing distance , he hurled his grenades at the pillbox opening in the face of intense enemy fire which wounded him mortally . Undaunted , he gathered his strength and continued his grenade attack until one entered and exploded within the pillbox , killing the occupants and putting their guns out of action . Inspired by S / Sgt . Carey ' s heroic act , the riflemen quickly occupied the position and overpowered the remaining enemy resistance in the vicinity . Legacy . Ligonier Valley High School near Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania was renamed the Alvin P . Carey School in 1998 . Carey was also inducted into the Hall of Valor for Allegheny County , PA in 2005 . After the war , his body was brought back to the United States and is interred in the Ligonier Valley Cemetery .

RCAF Station Carberry RCAF Station Carberry was a Second World War air training station located near Carberry , Manitoba , Canada . The Royal Air Force ( RAF ) , opened No . 33 Service Flying Training School ( SFTS ) here in December 1940 . As with all RAF training facilities in Canada , the station was subject to Royal Canadian Air Force ( RCAF ) administrative and operational control and formally became part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan in 1942 . The school closed in November 1944 . The airfield was one of the few double - sided aerodromes built for wartime training with six parallel runways formed in a triangle rather than the typical three runways formed in a triangle . After the war the station was used as a storage depot until the RCAF moved out . The site is now the location of a McCain Foods potato processing facility .
USS Rondo ( SP - 90 ) The first USS " Rondo " ( SP - 90 ) , later USS " SP - 90 " , was an armed motorboat that served in the United States Navy as a patrol vessel from 1917 to 1919 . " Rondo " was a civilian motorboat built in 1915 by the Rhode River Shipbuilding Company on the Rhode River in Maryland . The U . S . Navy acquired her on 16 May 1917 for World War I service as a patrol boat , and commissioned as USS " Rondo " ( SP - 90 ) on 14 November 1917 with Chief Boatswain ' s Mate R . N . Denny in command . " Rondo " served on patrol duty in Florida waters , operating out of Key West , Marathon , Long Key , and Bahia Honda Viaduct at Bahia Honda Key , through the end of the war . In April 1918 , she was renamed USS " SP - 90 " , presumably to avoid confusion with the cargo ship USS " Rondo " ( ID - 2488 ) , which was commissioned the previous month . While anchored in North Beach Basin at Key West on 9 September 1919 , " SP - 90 " was among eight patrol boats completely destroyed by a hurricane .

Y - Gerät ( navigation ) Y - Gerät ( Y - gadget ) , also known as Wotan , was a radio navigation system used by the Luftwaffe in World War II to aid bomber navigation . It was preceded by the X - Gerät system . As the British slowly gained the upper hand in the Battle of the beams , they started considering what the next German system would be like . With the standard beam systems clearly no longer of any use , some sort of entirely new system would have to be developed . It was thought that if they could defeat this new system , whatever it was , very quickly , the Germans would give up on the whole idea in frustration . They soon started receiving intercepts referring to a new device known as Y - Gerät , which was also sometimes referred to as Wotan . R . V . Jones had long realized that the Germans used code names that were far too literal . Asking around he learned that Wotan was the name of a one - eyed God . Based on nothing more than this , he assumed that Y - Gerät used a single beam . From this they thought up systems that could use a single beam , and concluded that Wotan would have to be based on a distance - measurement system . Perhaps shockingly , the guess was exactly correct . Y - Gerät used a single narrow beam from the ground station pointed over the target , broadcasting a series of " pulse s " . A new piece of equipment in the bomber was required for the system to work ; it received the pulses from the beam and immediately re - broadcast them , where they were picked up at the original station . By listening for the return pulses , the distance to the plane could be calculated with fairly good accuracy . The planes did not have to " fly the beam " , ground controllers would plot the position of the plane and give instructions over radio to correct their path . A downside was that only one plane could be guided at once . The British were ready for this system even before it was used . Fortuitously , the system operated on the same 45 MHz frequency as the BBC ' s dormant Alexandra Palace television station . Using it to broadcast random " return " pulses , the German ground stations received several pulses for every one sent , and had no idea which was the " real " one . They gave up on this system after only a few small raids , considering the British to be " way ahead " and any further radio navigation systems hopeless . Y - geräte were also used to locate and guide German fighter planes intercepting allied bombers . The system could establish direction and distance , thus location , of a fighter and use the same radio signal for two - way voice communications . Over a dozen of these systems were located near Fliegerhorst Deelen .

Bombing of Aomori in World War II The on July 28 , 1945 was part of the strategic bombing campaign waged by the United States of America against military and civilian targets and population centers during the Japan home islands campaign in the closing stages of World War II . Background . Although the city of Aomori lacked major targets of military significance and was a minor city in terms of population , it was a prefectural capital and a major regional transportation hub . Aomori Station was the northern terminus for the Tōhoku Main Line and Ōu Main Line railways , and Aomori Port was the primary base for the Seikan Ferry connecting Honshu with Hokkaidō . In terms of military industry , the city had a factory owned by Toyo Seikan , which manufactured wings and landing gear for aircraft . Air raids . On the night of July 27 , 1945 , two Boeing B - 29 Superfortress es dropped flares and a total of 60 , 000 leaflets on the city of Aomori . The leaflets , depicting a bomber dropping bombs , listed 11 cities ( including Aomori ) , and stated that at least 5 - 6 of these cities would soon be destroyed , and urged the civilian population to leave . As in other cities , the Japanese government decreed that citizens must turn such leaflets over to the police without reading the contents on pain of 3 months imprisonment or a fine of 10 Yen . Discussion of the contents could result in indefinite imprisonment , and the restrictions were to be enforced by the " kempeitai " and local " tonarigumi " . On the night of July 29 , 1945 , 63 B - 29 bombers from the USAAF 58th Bombardment Wing departed from Iwo Jima , with their flight routing via Sendai and the Oga Peninsula , approaching Aomori via Ajigasawa village . One aircraft was forced back , but the remaining 63 arrived over Aomori at 22 : 10 and commenced a firebombing attack with E - 48 500 lbs incendiary bombs on the central part of the city from an altitude of 5000 feet , lasting until 23 : 10 . The bombers released a total of 83 , 000 new M74 incendiary devices on the largely wooden city . The resultant firestorm destroyed most of the city . The estimated civilian casualties in the July 29 raid was an estimated 1 , 767 killed and 18 , 045 homes destroyed . Efforts by citizens and civil defense authorities to extinguish the napalm - filled M74 bomblets using traditional water bucket brigades and fire trucks contributed to the casualties and extent of damage . A year after the war , the United States Army Air Forces ' s Strategic Bombing Survey ( Pacific War ) reported that 88 percent of the city had been totally destroyed . However , the Toyo Seikan factory was undamaged . The B - 29 bombers continued on Tinian in the Mariana Islands without damage or loss .

In 1950 , he was sentenced to 15 years in prison and later lived as a doctor in the GDR .
Chuguyevka ( air base ) Chuguyevka ( also written in various references as Chuguevka , Sandagou , Sikharovka ( erroneous ) , Sakharovka ( erroneous ) , Sokolovka , and Bulyga - Fadeyevo ) is a military air base in Primorski Krai , Russia . The base ' s primary objective was to scramble aircraft against SR - 71 flights over Vladivostok . The primary operator was 530 IAP ( 530th Interceptor Aviation Regiment ) of the 11 OA PVO . During the 1960s it flew MiG - 17 aircraft , and by the 1970s as SR - 71 flights became an issue of concern it acquired 36 MiG - 25P Foxbat planes . By the 1990s it phased them out with MiG - 31 . The base rose to prominence in September 1976 when a MiG - 25 from Chuguyevka , piloted by Victor Belenko , defected to Hakodate , Japan . This incident was a major security breach for the Soviet Union . Currently , Google Earth high - resolution imagery shows at least 20 MiG - 25 and MiG - 31 aircraft on the airfield .
HMS Jersey ( 1698 ) HMS " Jersey " was a 50 - gun fourth rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy , built at East Cowes on the Isle of Wight , and launched on 24 November 1698 . She was converted to serve as a hulk in 1731 , and was sunk in 1763 .
AGM - 124 Wasp The AGM - 124 Wasp is a missile developed by the United States of America . The Wasp grew out of the 1975 WAAM ( Wide - Area Anti - Armour Munitions ) program initiated by the US Air Force in order to develop a series of new air - to - ground anti - armour weapons for close - support aircraft . The three - pronged program led to the CBU - 92 / B ERAM ( Extended Range Anti - Armour Munition ) , the CBU - 90 / B ACM ( Anti - Armour Cluster Munition ) , and the Wasp anti - armour missile . The Wasp is regarded as the most advanced of these weapons . Development began in 1979 , with Boeing and Hughes Aircraft as the primary contractors . The specification called for a small missile which could be carried in large numbers by attack aircraft in multiple dispensers - the A - 10 was able to carry several 12 round launcher pods . The Boeing design was unsuccessful , and the USAF selected the Hughes Wasp missile . The AGM - 124A was a small weapon with folding wings and fins to reduce storage space within the launcher . It was intended to be launched in large numbers - 10 or more missiles launched nearly simultaneously was envisaged for a typical attack ; indeed the name Wasp derived from this " swarm " tactic . The missiles would follow a pre - programmed path to the target area before activating a millimetric - wave radar to identify and home on a specific target . This high resolution radar was able to distinguish targets even against enemy jamming and high background clutter from the ground . Testing of the radar system began in 1981 , and the first prototype AGM - 124 took place in 1983 . Production was planned for 1987 , but in October 1983 the program was cancelled . Most of the other components of the WAAM program were also less than successful , with only the BLU - 108 / B Skeet submunition in use today .
3rd Connecticut Regiment The 3rd Connecticut Regiment was authorized on 16 September 1776 and was organized between 1 January - April 1777 of eight companies of volunteers from the counties of Windham and Hartford in the state of Connecticut . On 3 April 1777 it was assigned to the 1st Connecticut Brigade in the Highland ' s Department . The brigade was re - assigned to the Main Continental Army on 15 June 1777 and re - assigned back to the Highland ' s Department on 2 July 1777 . One year later , 21 July 1778 the Brigade was re - assigned to the Main Continental Army . On 28 May 1779 the Brigade was re - assigned to the Highland ' s Department and 11 July 1779 the regiment was re - organized to nine companies . On 16 November 1780 the brigade was re - assigned to the Main Continental Army ; but later that , 27 November 1780 it was re - assigned back to the Highland ' s Department . On 1 January 1781 the regiment was merged with the 4th Connecticut Regiment , re - organized to nine companies and re - designated as the 1st Connecticut Regiment { 1781 - 1783 } . The regiment would see action in the New York Campaign .
HMAS Marguerite HMAS " Marguerite " was an laid down for the Royal Navy by Dunlop Bremner & Company at Port Glasgow in Scotland in July 1915 and launched on 23 November 1915 . The ship was transferred to Australia in 1919 and commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy on 17 January 1920 , receiving the prefix HMAS . " Marguerite " paid off on 23 July 1929 and was sunk as a target on 1 August 1935 .
Holy League ( 1538 ) The Holy League of 1538 was a short - lived alliance of Christian states arranged by Pope Paul III at the urging of the Republic of Venice . In 1537 the Ottoman corsair and admiral Hayreddin Barbarossa , Pasha of Algiers , had nearly captured the Venetian stronghold of Corfu and ravaged the coasts of Calabria . In the face of this threat Pope Paul succeeded in February 1538 in organizing a so - called " Holy League " which consisted of the Papal States , the Republic of Venice , the Maltese Knights and Spain with her vassal states of Naples and Sicily . To confront Barbarossa and his roughly 120 galley s and fusta s , the League assembled a fleet of about 300 ships ( 162 galleys and 140 sailing ships ) in September 1538 near Corfu . Its supreme commander was the Genoese admiral Andrea Doria , who was then in the service of Emperor Charles V . The two fleets met on 28 September 1538 in the Battle of Preveza , and Barbarossa decisively defeated the numerically superior Christian alliance . Doria ' s leadership in the battle was less than vigorous and is widely believed to have been a major contributing cause to the League ' s defeat . His hesitation to bring his own ships into full action ( he personally owned a number of them ) and to sacrifice them for the good of Venice , the traditional rival of his home town of Genoa , are generally considered to explain his actions at Preveza .
Edward Sam M ' boma Edwin Sam - M ’ boma is a Sierra Leonean military commander . He is at the rank of Major General and is also the Chief of the Defence Staff of The Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces . In February 2007 , M ' boma acted as spokesman for the RSLAF in declaring that no voting booths for the upcoming federal elections will be placed inside the army barracks . Instead , the booths will be placed among other civilians , thus eliminating the chance that military personnel votes can be separated from that of civilians .
