An additional example was sold to Belgium , incorporating the same changes requested by the Swiss . These included a change in the wing ( changing back to become more similar to the D . 1 ) , and the replacement of the Lamblin radiators with a more conventional frontal radiator . Operational history . While the first Swiss D . 19 was entirely constructed by Dewoitine in France , the remaining two aircraft were supplied to be assembled by the Swiss factory EKW . The aircraft were used for many years by the Swiss " Fliegertruppe " as trainers for fighter pilots , remaining in service until 1940 . All three participated in the international aviation meet at Dübendorf in 1927 , with one of the D . 19s winning the closed - circuit race .

Gaius Duilius Gaius Duilius ( lived 3rd century BC ) was a Roman politician and admiral involved in the First Punic War . Not much is known about his family background or early career , since he was a " novus homo " , meaning not belonging to a traditional family of Roman aristocrats . He managed , nevertheless , to be elected consul for the year of 260 BC , at the outbreak of the First Punic war . As junior partner of the patrician Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio Asina , Duilius was given the command of the rear fleet , not expected to see much action . However , the naivety of Scipio Asina got him captured in the Battle of the Lipari Islands , leaving Duilius as senior commander . He encountered Hannibal Gisco and the rest of the Punic fleet soon afterwards . The following Battle of Mylae was a stunning victory for Rome , mainly due to the use of the " corvus " boarding device . Duilius captured several enemy vessels , including Gisco ' s flagship and was thus the first Roman successful in a naval engagement . He was awarded with a triumphal parade featuring the ramming " beaks " of captured Carthaginian warships that later would adorn a column erected in Duilius ' honor in the Roman Forum . When in Rome , he also had the honor of being accompanied by a torch - bearer and flute - player whenever he went out at night . He was censor in 258 BC with Lucius Cornelius Scipio .
