Giuseppe Avezzana Giuseppe Avezzana ( born in Chieri , Piedmont , 19 February 1797 ; died Rome , 25 December 1879 ) was an Italian soldier who fought in Europe and America . Biography . He served under Napoleon I from 1813 until the fall of the empire , and then , joining the Sardinian army , found himself in 1815 arrayed against his old leader , who had made his escape from Elba . His American career began soon after the restoration of Ferdinand VII to the Spanish throne in September 1823 . Avezzana fought against the restoration , was captured , was held for several weeks as a prisoner , and sailed for America on being set free . Wherever there was a chance to fight for liberty , Avezzana was at hand , and hardly was he fairly established on American soil when he found himself called upon to defend the state of Tamaulipas against his old enemies the Spaniards , who invaded the territory under General Barradas in June 1827 . He was obliged to retire at first before superior numbers , but soon rallied a force sufficient to overthrow the invaders , and afterward resumed his peaceful vocations . In 1832 , a revolution was organized by Antonio López de Santa Anna against the government of Anastasio Bustamante , and Avezzana was , as always , ready to lead the revolt . Left in command at Tampico by General Montezuma , who went to stir up the revolutionists elsewhere , he maneuvred so successfully with a small force that they captured three times their number of government troops at Ciudad Victoria , with artillery and supplies . From this time he gave the enemy no rest , but retrieved the disasters that had befallen Santa Anna and Montezuma , and mainly through his able military leadership the liberal cause triumphed . Avezzana immediately resigned his command , and in 1834 went into business in New York City , where he married an Irish lady and led a quiet mercantile life until the revolutions of 1848 fired his patriot blood again , and he promptly responded to the call of Italy . He was absent just a year , and only returned to America after he had fought the Austrians and Sardinians at Genoa , and with a few thousand followers had defended Rome for two months against the allied armies , 100 , 000 strong . Once he sought refuge on board an American and once on board a British man - of - war , and at last , when the cause of freedom was hopelessly crushed , escaped with his usual good luck to America and resumed his mercantile life in New York .

CASA / IPTN CN - 235 The CASA / IPTN CN - 235 is a medium - range twin - engined transport plane that was jointly developed by CASA of Spain and Indonesia n manufacturer IPTN , as a regional airliner and military transport . Its primary military roles include maritime patrol , surveillance , and air transport . Its largest user is Turkey which has 61 aircraft . Design and development . The project was a joint venture between Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA ( CASA ) and Indonesian Aerospace ( " PT . Dirgantara Indonesia " ) , formerly known as IPTN , which formed Airtech to manage the programme . The partnership applied only to the Series 10 and Series 100 / 110 , with later versions being developed independently . Over 230 of all versions of CN - 235 are in service and have accumulated more than 500 , 000 flight hours . Design began in January 1980 with first flight on 11 November 1983 .

William Procter ( Canadian veteran ) William " Duke " Procter ( August 18 , 1899 – December 14 , 2005 ) was a Canadian veteran of the First World War and the last remaining veteran of that war from western Canada . At the time of his death , there were only three known remaining Canadian World War I veterans . He was born in Mabel Lake , British Columbia , where he learned at an early age how to drive horses and haul wood . He joined the Canadian Army in 1916 , went to England as a member of the 172nd Rocky Mountain Rangers Infantry and was put to work cutting timber for use on the front lines in France because , at 16 , he was considered too young for active duty . After his discharge , he returned to Mabel Lake , where he continued to work at logging , and later settled on a farm . After his retirement at the age of 67 , he moved to Vernon , British Columbia . Procter held the record as being the oldest person ever to compete in the " Canadian Horseshoe Championships " , participating in 1997 and 1998 , and celebrated his 100th birthday by skydiving . He continued to drive his own car until the age of 101 . He moved into a senior ' s home at 105 after a fall left him less mobile . He received the Queen ' s Golden Jubilee Medal in 2004 . He died at Oakside Manor residential care facility in Enderby , British Columbia at the age of 106 .
Victory Bomber The British " Victory Bomber " was a Second World War design by Barnes Wallis at Vickers - Armstrongs at Brooklands for a bomber to carry his projected " earthquake bomb " to strategic targets in Germany . Background . Aircraft designer Barnes Wallis reasoned that by selectively destroying strategic infrastructure targets , the German capacity to make armaments could be reduced . In 1940 Barnes Wallis designed a " penetrating " bomb that was to bury itself in the ground before detonating . It was estimated that it could break dams like the Möhne if it exploded in the reservoirs within of the dam ' s face . No existing Royal Air Force ( RAF ) bomber could carry such a weapon , and he designed a huge six - engined bomber to drop the bomb from . Wallis was an expert on geodetic airframe construction , having previously used it in designs such as the Wellesley ( 1935 ) and Wellington ( 1936 ) , and naturally used it again for the Victory Bomber ; also , all existing Vickers tooling was for this construction method . His specification was for a 50 ton ( 45 tonne ) bomber that could fly at high altitude , being calculated to give the bomb maximum impact speed , at a speed of over a distance of . It would carry a single " earthquake bomb " . Defensive armament was minimal ; speed and height would be its chief defence with one 4 - gun turret in the tail position for any fighter aircraft that did attempt to reach it . The bomber would benefit by climbing to altitude while over Britain where fighter defences could protect it . The crew compartment was pressurized . The limitation of the purpose of the aircraft to a single bomb did not endear it to the Air Ministry who required more flexibility of their aircraft , and the Air Staff rejected both the bomber and the bomb in May 1941 , as the aircraft was unlikely to be completed before the war ended . The bomber design is not believed to have been developed beyond construction of a large wooden wind tunnel model which survives today at Brooklands Museum but the earthquake bomb idea was continued , initially as the smaller Tallboy bomb , and then the larger Grand Slam bomb , the carrying aircraft being a modified Avro Lancaster , whose performance improved during the war to the point where it could manage such a load . There was further design work on large high flying bombers by the British during the war including 75 ton ( 68 tonne ) and 100 ton ( 90 tonne ) designs , but these did not progress either .
Pearl Harbor Survivors Association The Pearl Harbor Survivors Association , founded in 1958 and recognized by the United States Congress in 1985 , is an organization whose members were at or in the vicinity of Pearl Harbor , Hawaii during the Japanese attack of December 7 , 1941 . Motto : " Remember Pearl Harbor - - Keep America Alert - - Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty . " The group holds a congressional charter under Title 36 of the United States Code .

It was at this first meeting that those in attendance swore that they would make the commemoration an annual event . At the official founding dinner in 1958 , the eleven survivors who were present at the 1954 meeting were proclaimed the Founding Fathers of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association . Those eleven survivors were : Mark Ferris , Ed Steffa , Samuel Kronberger , Edward Kronberger , Robert Kronberger , George Haines Jr . , Raymond LeBer , James C . Taneyhill , Clarence Bonn , George Schafer , and Louis P . Smith . Following the 1958 meeting , the members began searching for other military survivors of the Pearl Harbor attack . The first organized convention was held at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim , California where over 300 survivors joined in commemoration of the event . Over 1 , 000 survivors attended the convention held at the Lafayette Hotel in Long Beach California December 7 , 1962 . At this meeting , the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association constitution was presented and ratified by the members . Mark Ferris was the association ’ s first National President . The organization was incorporated under the laws of the State of California and the PHSA National Insignia was registered in Washington DC .
