Hannover Cl . V The Hannover CL . V was a ground attack aircraft built in Germany during World War I , which formed the basis for a sport aircraft following the war . Derived from the Hannover CL . II , the CL . V shared the same basic conventional biplane configuration and incorporated the overhanging , aerodynamically - balanced ailerons developed for the Hannover CL . III . The characteristic biplane tail used on earlier Hannover CL - class machines was dispensed with , and a conventional empennage was fitted to the prototype , although production machines reverted to the earlier design . The CL . V was first tested in July 1918 , which led to an initial order from " Idflieg " for 20 aircraft powered by the Mercedes D . III engine for evaluation . Further orders followed for CL . Vs powered by the BMW . IIIa engine , which gave superior performance and were intended as dedicated two seat fighters . Only 46 were built before the end of the war , and none of them had been put into service by that time . Hannover built another 62 examples after the Armistice . In its civil configuration , designated F . 6 , the aircraft dispensed entirely with the rear cockpit , and once again used the monoplane tail unit that had been fitted to the CL . V prototype . One stripped down example was used to set a world altitude record of 8 , 340 m ( 27 , 335 ft ) on 22 October 1919 . In 1923 , another 14 CL . Vs were produced for the Norwegian army air service by Kjeller . These were known as the Kjeller FF . 7 " Hauk " ( " Hawk " ) and remained in service until 1929 .
Cromwell ' s Castle Cromwell ' s Castle is a 17th - century fortification on the island of Tresco in the Isles of Scilly , built after the invasion of the Isles by Sir Robert Blake in 1651 .

Cromwell ' s Castle is a coastal gun tower built by Sir Robert Blake following the Parliamentary invasion of the Isles of Scilly in 1651 . During the English Civil War between 1642 and 1646 , the Isles had been Royalist supporters of the Charles I , and rebelled against Parliament in favour of Charles in 1648 . Tresco became a base for Royalist privateer s and Parliament became concerned that the Dutch , then hostile to England , might exploit the situation . In 1651 Parliament sent Robert Blake and a naval force to retake the island . Having re - established control , Blake constructed Cromwell ' s Castle , named after Oliver Cromwell , the Parliamentary leader . The existing fort , King Charles ' s Castle , had been built in the 1550s but was poorly sited and had been largely blown up by its defenders when Blake ' s forces took the island . The castle comprised a two - storey tower , wide and high , with walls thick . Six gun - port s allowed the battery a good angle of fire across the channel between the islands of Bryher and Tresco . In 1739 the War of Jenkins ' Ear broke out between Britain and Spain , and the decision was taken to improve the defences at Cromwell Castle . A large gun - platform for a battery of six guns was built to the south - west of the tower , and other improvements were made .

Ashikaga Yoshiaki The absence of an effective central authority in the capital of Japan had lasted until the warlord Oda Nobunaga ' s armies entered Kyoto in 1568 , re - establishing the Muromachi Shogunate under the puppet shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki to begin the Azuchi - Momoyama period . Ashikaga Yoshihide , the fourteenth shogun , was deposed without ever entering the capital . Most historians consider 1573 to have been the year in which the Ashikaga shogunate ended . The power of the Ashikaga was effectively destroyed on August 27 , 1573 when Oda Nobunaga drove Yoshiaki out of Kyoto . Yoshiaki became a Buddhist monk , shaving his head and taking the name Sho - san , which he later changed to Rei - o In . Some note that Yoshiaki did not formally relinquish his empty title ; and for this reason , the empty shell of the shogunate could be said to have continued for several more years . Despite a renewed central authority in Kyoto and Nobunaga ' s attempt to unify the country , the struggle for power among warring states continued until unification and final peace was achieved long after his assassination in 1582 . Events of Yoshiaki ' s " bakufu " . Significant events shape the period during which Yoshiaki was shogun : Eras of Yoshiaki ' s " bakufu . The span of years in which Yoshiaki was shogun are more specifically identified by more than one era name or " nengō " .
George Monro ( British Army officer ) Lieutenant - Colonel George Monro ( sometimes spelled ' Munro ' ) ( 1700 – 1757 ) was a Scottish - Irish soldier . He was an officer in the British Army best remembered for his resolute but ultimately unsuccessful defence of Fort William Henry in 1757 during the Seven Years ' War / French and Indian War and the subsequent massacre of his garrison at the hands of France ’ s Indian allies . These events were made famous by James Fenimore Cooper in his novel " The Last of the Mohicans " ( and future film adaptations ) . Early life .

George also had an older brother named Alexander and a sister called Margarat . George ' s grandfather was Sir Alexander Munro of Bearcrofts . Monro joined Otway ’ s Regiment , the 35th Regiment of Foot , as a Lieutenant in 1718 . He appears to have had an unremarkable military career , and by 1750 he had been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant - Colonel . Seven Years War . In 1757 , with hostilities renewed between Britain and France , Monro was placed in command of Fort William Henry with 1 , 500 troops . That summer the Siege of Fort William Henry took place where he was attacked by a French force and their Indian allies , totalling about 8 , 000 men , under the command of the Marquis de Montcalm . Effectively cut off from the main British force , commanded by General Daniel Webb , the small British garrison stood little chance once the siege started in earnest on 3 August . Monro was forced to open negotiations with Montcalm on the 9th of August . Munro ’ s tenacious defence won him generous terms , with the articles of surrender referring to the garrison ’ s “ honourable defence , ” and Monro was able to negotiate for his troops to be allowed safe passage to Fort Edward , about seventeen miles away . However , it was not to be . As Monro led his garrison from Fort William Henry , Montcalm ’ s Indian allies attacked without order from Montcalm , leaving approximately 1 , 000 dead . Monro actually survived the massacre but died suddenly just three months later , on 3 November 1757 , at Albany . References . " 1759 : The Year Britain Became Master of the World " , Frank Mclynn ( 2004 ) In fiction . In his novel , James Fenimore Cooper writes of Monro having two daughters , Cora and Alice .
