It was inactivated on 1 March 1960 . The squadron was first active as the 318th Bombardment Squadron , an operational training unit and replacement training unit under Second Air Force during World War II . In 1945 , the 8th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron was activated as a demonstration unit for air ground support exercises . In 1985 the three squadrons were consolidated into a single unit . History . The 318th Bombardment Squadron was established in early 1942 as a Boeing B - 17 Flying Fortress heavy bombardment squadron . It was part of Second Air Force as a heavy bomber Operational Training Unit ( OTU ) . The OTU program involved the use of an oversized parent unit to provide cadres to “ satellite groups ” . The squadron was assigned primarily to airfields in the Pacific Northwest training new units , then becoming a Replacement Training Unit ( RTU ) . RTUs were oversized units that trained individual pilots or aircrew s . It was transferred along with its parent group to Third Air Force in November 1943 . However , standard military units , based on relatively inflexible tables of organization were proving less well adapted to the training mission . Accordingly a more functional system was adopted in which each base was organized into a separate numbered unit . In this reorganization it was replaced along with other units at Avon Park AAF by the 325th AAF Base Unit ( Replacement Training , Bombardment , Heavy ) and was inactivated . In 1945 , the 8th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron was activated as a demonstration unit for air ground support exercises and served in this capacity in the early postwar era . It was disbanded in 1948 . The 308th Air Refueling Squadron , Medium was activated in 1953 at Hunter AFB , Georgia to provide air refueling of United States Air Force ( Primarily Boeing B - 47 Stratojet ) aircraft using KC - 97 Stratotanker s on a worldwide basis . The squadron deployed to Sidi Slimane AB , Morocco in 1956 . It maintained one third of its aircraft on alert in a test of Strategic Air Command ' s alert plan later that year . The squadron earned an Air Force Outstanding Unit Award for its performance in this test . In 1959 it was reassigned to the 2d Bombardment Wing at Hunter when the 308th Bombardment Wing became non - operational . It was discontinued in 1960 as Boeing B - 52 Stratofortress es supported by Boeing KC - 135 Stratotanker s assumed the greater portion of the strategic bombardment mission . The three units were consolidated in 1985 as the 308th Air Refueling Squadron but have not been active since .

37mm Spade Mortar The 37mm Spade Mortar was a Soviet 37 mm light infantry mortar used in the Second World War . The mortar was produced from 1939 until the end of 1941 . Description . The weapon was a dual - purpose device in that it could also be used as a spade . When a leg was removed from the handle , the spade part of the weapon locked into position as a base plate for the mortar . The weapon was apparently intended to serve as a fire support weapon for every infantryman as it was designed to be operated by one man . There was no aiming device and the soldier simply pointed the mortar at its target . The soldier carried 15 rounds of ammunition on a fabric belt for the mortar . The German Army designated the weapon the " 3 . 7 cm Spatengranatwerfer 161 ( r ) " , although the true Soviet designation was simply " 37mm mortar " ( ) . The weapon was likely an attempt to boost the firepower of Soviet rifle units . Although a rifle grenade - launcher ( which the Red Army also had ) can fire shells of similar weight , they are slower to load and cannot serve as rifles while firing grenades . The spade mortar was used during the Winter War with Finland , where the weapon was found ineffective in the heavy snow . Initially used in the Russo - German War , the spade mortar fell into disuse after 1942 . During the Iran - Iraq War , the Iranian Army developed a similar device , the 37mm Marsh Mortar for use in marshy ground , as 37mm was the maximum shell size for which recoil did not drive the mortar into the soft ground .

According to Moissac Chronicle Charlemagne ' s son Charles laid siege to " Canburg " ( somewhere on the Elbe in Bohemia ) . Nobody knows where exactly Canburg was situated . The chronicle writes about the left bank of the Elbe river , but the author could easily muddle it up with other rivers in the area ( e . g . Vltava - Moldau , Ohře - Eger River ) . Lingual similarity is the cause of a hypothesis that Canburg was situated somewhere nearby the present - day town of Kadaň .
