Bloch MB . 210 The MB . 210 and MB . 211 were the successors of the French Bloch MB . 200 bomber built by Societé des Avions Marcel Bloch in the 1930s and differed primarily in being low wing monoplanes rather than high wing monoplanes . Development . The MB . 210 derived from the MB . 200 and differs in particular by having its cantilever wing set at the bottom of the fuselage , and in having a retractable undercarriage . Developed as a private venture , the prototype MB . 210 accomplished its first flight on 23 November 1934 , powered by two 596 kW ( 800 hp ) Gnome - Rhône 14Kdrs / Gnome - Rhône 14Kgrs air - cooled radial engines and having a fixed undercarriage . This was followed by a second prototype , the MB . 211 Verdun , powered by 641 kW ( 860 hp ) Hispano - Suiza 12Y V - 12 liquid - cooled inlines and fitted with a retractable undercarriage , this flying on 29 August 1935 . Initial flight testing of this version was somewhat disappointing , so no further examples were built . Further progress with the MB . 210 , however , convinced the " Armée de l ' Air " to order series production , the first example of which flew on 12 December 1936 . The satisfaction did not last very long , however , since it was underpowered and the engines of production aircraft were inclined to overheating . The type was grounded until its engines could be replaced by the more powerful and reliable Gnome - Rhône 14N , these engines first being tested in summer 1937 and had to be replaced . Altogether , 257 units were manufactured amongst companies as diverse as Les Mureaux over Potez - CAMS , Breguet , Hanriot , and Renault . Operational history . In September 1939 , the Bloch MB . 210 equipped 12 bomber units of the " Armée de l ' Air " . At the time of Nazi Germany ' s attack on France in spring 1940 , these squadrons were in the middle of a restructuring aimed at removing outdated aircraft from the front line . Up to the armistice on 25 June of the same year , the MB . 210 was used still for nighttime bomb employments and shifted then to North Africa .
Wimble Toot Castle Wimble Toot Castle was a probable castle built near the village of Babcary , Somerset , England . Details . Wimble Toot Castle is a probable castle built near the village of Babcary , Somerset , between 1067 and 1069 . Today the site forms a circular earthwork , 27 . 47 m across and 2 . 74 m high , with a ditch on the north - west and south - east sides , on the top of a ridge , overloking a brook which runs into the River Cary and the old Roman road of the Fosse Way . The interpretation of the site ' s original purpose has changed over time . Originally the site was classified as a Bronze Age barrow , originally used for the burial of the dead , or a windmill mound . The most recent academic research , however , suggests the site was in fact probably a motte castle , built after the Norman conquest of England . Wimble Toot was probably , therefore , designed to protecting the River Cary , and in particular the 19 miles ( 30 km ) of navigable river between this castle and Downend Castle , tactically important for Norman communication routes during the period . It would also have guarded the nearby settlement of Ilchester in conjunction with a fortified manor house at the village of Sock Dennis , and was probably built by the regional Norman lord , Robert of Mortain . Today the site is a scheduled monument .

However , only 5 % of the capacity of the Imperial Japanese Navy Ammunition Arsenal was affected , and only 10 % of the capacity of the Nissan aircraft factory , as the bombing was concentrated on Hiratsuka ’ s civilian population center , rather than the military industries located on the outskirts of town . The estimated civilian casualties were 228 people killed . A year after the war , the United States Army Air Forces ' s Strategic Bombing Survey ( Pacific War ) reported that 44 . 8 percent of the city had been totally destroyed .

This raid was followed on August 13 by another attack involving 61 aircraft launched from USS " Hancock " , USS " Belleau Woods " , USS " Bennington " , USS " Lexington " and USS " San Jacinto " . The primary target was again the Nissan Aircraft production facilities , by this time virtually abandoned due to lack of materials and damage in the previous air raid .
