It is assigned to McGuire Air Force Base , New Jersey and is equipped with the KC - 135 Stratotanker aircraft . History . Eestablished at Newark Airport , NJ , on February 1 , 1956 Initially equipped with C - 46 Commando aircraft , performed primarily tactical transport missions from Newark in the northeast . In 1964 retired the C - 46s and was re - equipped with C - 121 Constellation long distance transports , primarily for passenger movements to Europe , also flew to the Caribbean and to Japan , Thailand , South Vietnam , Australia and the Philippines during the Vietnam War . The Constellations were retired in 1973 , being replaced with the C - 7 Caribou light transport , which were withdrawn from service in the Vietnam War . The C - 7s were used for carrying small payloads in combat areas with rough airstrips . In 1977 upon the receipt of Boeing KC - 135 Stratotanker s the unit became the 150th Air Refueling Squadron . It was the first air refueling unit in the Nation to launch tankers to establish the now famous U . S . Saudi Arabia " Air Bridge " during OPERATION DESERT Shield - DESERT STORM . Hours after President Bush ordered U . S . forces to the Persian Gulf , 150th aircrews were refueling fighters and cargo transports winging their way nonstop from the U . S . to the Persian Gulf . Shortly thereafter , and again , prior to certain units personnel being activated , the 150th deployed aircraft , aircrews , maintenance and support personnel to Saudi Arabia . It also provided urgently needed medical , security police and support personnel to U . S . air bases to assist active duty personnel and serve as " back - fill " for those already rushed to the combat theater . On 1 October 1993 , the 170th Air Refueling Group was consolidated with the senior 108th Air Refueling Wing at McGuire for budgeting resaons . The 170th Air Refueling Group was inactivated , however , the 150th Air Refueling Squadron remained active , being assigned to the 108th Operations Group as its second KC - 135 Squadron ( along with the 141st ARS ) . In September 1994 , for over 30 days , five aircraft and 300 members deployed to Pisa , Italy for DENY FLIGHT . Supported by 15 active duty Air Force personnel , the squadron was the first Air Guard Unit to take full responsibility during that period .
Ariel W / NG 350 The Ariel W / NG 350 is a motorcycle based on the well proven Ariel Red Hunter singles built by Ariel Motorcycles for the British military , and designed by the firm ' s chief designer Val Page in 1932 around an engine he developed six years earlier . Although the Ariel was not initially selected by the War Department , they were in great demand after the evacuation of Dunkirk when much of the British Army ' s materiel had been left behind . Development . On the outbreak of the Second World War , Ariel submitted the 1939 VA overhead valve single for evaluation against the War Office ' s Norton 16H . The 1939 W / VA 497cc side - valve single was also tested . Both performed well and Ariel developed the W / NG specifically for military use . This was a OHV single based on a Scottish six - day Trials winning model and went into production in 1940 . Although the French military immediately placed orders for the W / NG , the British War Office rated it as " fair – for use only in emergency purposes " . Following the loss of equipment resulting from the evacuation of Dunkirk in May 1940 the " emergency purposes " became necessary , and Ariel turned over as many motorcycles as possible to the war effort , including converted civilian machines – many of which still carried an Ariel badge painted over with green or sand paint . VH & VG ( 500 OHV singles ) , NH & NG ( 350 OHV singles ) , and even the VB ( SV single ) models were put into military service , although most were used for training and civil defence . The British Army , Royal Air Force , Admiralty , Ministry of Agriculture and Women ' s Land Army all used Ariel W / NG 350s . Production . W / NG motorcycles were supplied from 1940 to 1945 and featured dual triangular tool boxes , pannier frames for bags , rear carrying racks and headlamp masks . Rubber items were impossible to source from 1942 because of a shortage of rubber , therefore handgrips were made from canvas and footrests from steel . As the war progressed , aluminium also became scarce and pressed steel was used for the primary chaincase and timing covers . Post war . After the war over 800 W / NG motorcycles were supplied to the Danish Army between 1946 and 1947 . The remaining W / NGs that survived were mostly converted back into civilian specification for resale by dealers , so good examples of the military model are now rare . An example attached to a sidecar appears in the film , " Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang " . The motorcycle , ridden by the title character , also appeared in versions of the advertising poster upon release .
Ronald Malcolm Fletcher Ronald Malcolm Fletcher DFM ( 22 February 1899 – 20 January 1952 ) was an English World War I observer / gunner ace in two - seater fighters who , in conjunction with his pilot , Lt . S . F . H . Thompson , gained 26 confirmed victories ( 16 destroyed , 10 ' out of control ' ) . He was notable for the fact that all but one of these victories were over enemy fighter planes . Aerial Service . Attached to the Royal Flying Corps from the 30th Training Reserve Battalion in November 1917 , Fletcher was teamed with pilot Samuel Frederick Henry Thompson in May 1918 . Thompson already had scored three victories . The team of Sergeant Fletcher and Lieutenant Thompson was to become a deadly one ; Fletcher scored all but one of his 26 victories flying in the rear seat of Bristol F . 2 bs flown by Thompson . In turn , Thompson would become the leading ace of 22 Squadron with 30 victories . The new team got off to immediate success ; on 16 May 1918 , they destroyed three German Pfalz D . III fighters in ten minutes . Five days later , they destroyed another Pfalz and drove one down out of control , and Fletcher was an ace . Fletcher got two more wins in May , over German Albatros D . V s . June then became a succession of multiple victory days — two each on the 1st and 2nd , three on the 5th , and two more on the 23rd , to end the month with a count of 16 wins . There was a lapse in his tally until 8 August , when he shot down a Fokker Dr . I . He then tripled on the 13th and doubled on the 27th . His final four victories came in September , including yet another double on the 5th . The final list of 26 victories with Thompson over German fighters was an impressive one . Three were shot down in flames — an Albatros D . V , a Pfalz D . III , and a Fokker D . VII . Thirteen others were claimed destroyed 13 – four Pfalz D . III s , five Albatros D . V s , two Fokker Dr . I s , and two Fokker D . VII s . All other victories were classified as " driven down out of control " . The Thompson / Fletcher team thus destroyed the equivalent of more than an entire German fighter squadron . Research suggests Thompson claimed at least 18 of their 26 victories with his front gun , and Fletcher ' s personal score ( taking into account claims with other pilots ) was at least 11 . Fletcher became a flight cadet and was commissioned in October 1918 . He was belatedly awarded the Distinguished Flying Medal on 2 November 1918 ; the medal ' s citation still referred to him as a sergeant . The citation also noted Fletcher had seven solo kills since 21 May 1918 . He left the military on 28 February 1919 . Post World War I . Fletcher married Elsie Annie Newborn on 23 April 1924 in the Wesleyan Methodist church in Priory Place , Doncaster , England . He returned to the Royal Air Force in March 1941 on a wartime commission in the RAF Volunteer Reserve , and served in the Air Training Corps . Fletcher died in Dore , Sheffield , South Yorkshire , England on 20 January 1952 .

Feldzeugmeister Feldzeugmeister was a military rank in various European armies ( mostly German - speaking , but also in Russia for a period ) , especially , in the artillery . It was commonly used in the 16th or 17th century , but could even be found in the beginning of the 20th century in some European countries . In the army of Habsburg Empire , the rank of Feldzeugmeister was an equivalent of Lieutenant General . Origin of the word . The word is German , and translates to ' Field - train - master ' . Field means the battlefield , as used in the title Field Marshal , and train refers to the baggage train or artillery train that accompanies an army . The expression has been used since Philip VI of France , before guns or cannons were used on the battlefield . Military rank . Originally , the ranks above Feldzeugmeister were " Feldhauptmann " and " Feldmarschall " . The third most important person in the army was the Feldzeugmeister . Although the expression was common in the German artillery , Austrian , Hungarian and French militias used the title as well . The position of a Feldzeugmeister differed by German states . In 1898 the Ministry of War of the Kingdom of Prussia created the position of a Feldzeugmeister which was comparable to the commander of a division . The Feldzeugmeister was in charge of delivering weapons , ammunition and personnel . In Bavaria of 1906 the inspection of weapons was organised by the department of the Feldzeugmeister . In the Austrian and Hungarian service , Feldzeugmeister ( in Hungarian Táborszernagy ) had a different meaning . During the Napoleonic Wars , the Feldzeugmeister held the rank just above Feldmarschallleutnant and just below Feldmarschall ( Field Marshal ) . It was a roughly equivalent rank to full general . Feldzeugmeister was equal to the General of the Infantry ( General der Infanterie ) and the General of the Cavalry ( General der Kavallerie ) . It remained the second highest rank of the Austrian army until the creation of Colonel - General ( Generaloberst ) in 1915 . Originally members of the infantry and artillery were given this rank , while members of the cavalry would become Generals of the Cavalry . From 1908 onwards the rank Feldzeugmeister was given to members of the artillery only .
