Cornelius XBG - 3 The Cornelius XBG - 3 was an American " bomb glider " , developed by the Cornelius Aircraft Corporation for the United States Army Air Forces . Using an unconventional design that included a forward - swept wing , a single prototype was ordered in 1942 ; however the contract was cancelled later that year before the aircraft had been constructed . History . Early in the Second World War , the United States Army Air Forces initiated research into the possibility that gliders , towed by other , conventional aircraft to the area of a target , then released and guided to impact via radio control , could be a useful weapon of war . Essentially an early form of ( very large ) guided missile , the concept was similar to a Navy project underway at the same time , known as Glomb ( from " glider - bomb " ) , and led to the establishment of the ' BG ' series of designations , for ' Bomb Glider ' , in early 1942 . Among the designs considered for use as a bomb glider was an unconventional design submitted by the Cornelius Aircraft Company . Cornelius , having established a reputation for unconventional aircraft designs , proposed a design that featured a " tail - first " configuration , with canard foreplanes and a radical forward - swept wing . The USAAF considered the design interesting enough to award a contract to Cornelius for the construction of a single prototype , designated XBG - 3 . However the project was cancelled in late 1942 , when the bomb glider concept was abandoned by the USAAF . An enlarged , tailess , forward - swept wing glider would be built by Cornelius later in the war , acting as a " flying fuel tank " for long - range bombers , as the XFG - 1 .

Gun deck The term gun deck originally referred to a deck aboard a ship that was primarily used for the mounting of cannon to be fired in broadside s . However , on many smaller vessels such as frigate s and unrated vessel s , the upper deck , forecastle and quarterdeck bore all of the cannons but were not referred to as the gun deck . The completely covered level under the upper deck was , however , still called the gun deck although it had no guns at all . On board marine seismic survey vessels , the lowest deck on the ship is normally referred to as the gun deck . This deck carries the seismic source arrays , consisting of air guns arranged in clusters . Slang . The term " gun deck " is also navy slang for fabricating or falsifying something . Some say the origin of the term dates to the practice of painting images of cannon ports on the side of a ship to make it appear to have more guns than it actually did , and thereby convincing any adversaries that they were outgunned , forgoing engagement . A more plausible explanation relates to midshipmen retiring to the gun deck to complete their celestial navigation assignments of computing the ship ' s position three times daily following morning star sights , noon sun line , and evening star sights . While some midshipmen might be conscientious about computing positions from new observations , others were reputed to extrapolate and back calculate observation data from dead reckoning courses and speeds since earlier observations ; and the actual computations performed on the gun deck were suspect . This term is presently used to indicate the falsification of documentation in order to avoid actually doing the work or make present conditions seem otherwise acceptable .
Battle of Chalgrove Field The Battle of Chalgrove was a small battle during the English Civil War in the county of Oxfordshire .

On the morning of 18 June , Prince Rupert ' s force surprised and destroyed Parliamentarian garrisons at Postcombe and Chinnor . The pay convoy evaded Rupert , and Parliamentarian troops led by Sir Philip Stapleton and Colonel John Hampden pursued Rupert back towards Oxford . At Chalgrove , about southeast of the city , Rupert ordered his infantry ahead while his cavalry set an ambush . The battle . The Parliamentarian horse closed quickly before the ambush could be set , leaving the two sides separated only by a large hedge . Leading the charge , Rupert The Royalist troopers quickly followed and routed the Parliamentarians in the short , sharp engagement which followed . During this fight , John Hampden was mortally wounded in the shoulder ( some sources claim by two carbine balls , others by shrapnel from his own pistol exploding ) . Aftermath . John Hampden retired to Thame where he died six days later . Following Chalgrove , Colonel Hurry led another raid a week later which swept around Essex ' s army and plundered Wycombe . This led to sharp criticism of Essex in London , and he offered his resignation , which was refused .
