Numidian cavalry Numidian cavalry was a type of light cavalry developed by the Numidians . After they were used by Hannibal during the Second Punic War , they were described by the Roman historian Livy as " by far the best horsemen in Africa . " The Numidian cavalry ' s horses , ancestors of the Berber horse , were small compared to other horses of the era , and were well adapted for faster movement over long distances . Numidian horsemen rode without saddle s or bridles , controlling their mounts with a simple rope around their horse ' neck . They had no form of bodily protection except for a round leather shield , and their main weapon were javelin s in addition to a short sword . Due to their expert horsemanship and agility , as well as their lack of armor or heavy weaponry , they were most suitable for harassing tactics , charging in loose formation and lobbing their javelin s before wheeling off to escape the enemy ' s counterattack . This harassing tactic , while rarely decisive , could be extremely frustrating to a less mobile enemy , as experienced by Julius Caesar ' s soldier during the latter ' s invasion of Africa . At the same time they were generally unable to stand their ground against heavier types of cavalry , in one incident during the aforementioned African invasion thirty of Caesar ' s Gallic horsemen drove off a much larger force of Moorish cavalry , while in another a squadron of Caesar ' s Iberian horsemen routed a large body of Labienus ' s Numidians , while his Gallic and Germanic horsemen stood their ground . The Numidians were extremely useful during small wars , and their presence certainly contributed greatly to the effectiveness of Hannibal ' s reconnaissance and intelligence . Hannibal ' s invasion of Rome during the Second Punic War is best known for his use of slow - moving war elephant s , but he also employed Numidian cavalry where faster movement was needed , such as luring the Romans into a trap at the Battle of Trebia and for fighting on his right flank . Numidian cavalry were widely known and not only fought in the Carthaginian army , but in other armies of the time as well – the Romans even employed Numidian cavalry against Hannibal ' s own in the battle of Zama , where the " Numidian Cavalry turned the scales " . For centuries thereafter , the Roman army employed Numidian light cavalry in separate units ( " equites Numidarum " or " Maurorum " ) .

" On 12 October this officer made a very fine flight , calling for courage and determination of a high order . Thick clouds were within 200 feet of the ground and the visibility was so bad that practically no flying was attempted . Despite these adverse conditions this officer volunteered to cross the lines . Climbing through the clouds , which were several thousand feet in depth , he flew above them , guided by compass , with no view of the ground . Continuing his flight until he estimated that he was in the vicinity of a certain objective , he descended , and found himself 150 feet over an enemy railway station . Dropping his bombs , he destroyed a passenger train , and afterwards engaged enemy troops and transport with machine - gun fire . Having caused considerable damage , Captain Hepburn climbed through the clouds and found his way home .

One of Hepburn ' s opinions reported in the book regards the use of radio , or wireless telephone , in the plane . " His chief objection to it is that one cannot stunt a machine with 150 feet of aerial trailing underneath the fuselage ; and that one might very well find oneself involved in a scrap before one has the time to wind it up , with a possible result that the wire might get entangled in the propeller and so wreck the machine in mid - air .
