Aeronca Defender The Aeronca TC - 65 Defender was an American high - wing light plane of the 1940s . Aeronautical Corporation of America formally changed its name to Aeronca Aircraft Corporation in 1941 , and the onset of World War II ushered in a new era for Aeronca aircraft . Production of the TC - 65 Defender was increased for use by the U . S . government ' s new Civilian Pilot Training ( CPT ) program , created to train new pilots for possible wartime service . The high - wing TC - 65 Defender was soon pressed into wartime duty as Aeronca ' s version of the U . S . Army ' s “ liaison ” aircraft , designed to operate from small , primitive airfields . Sporting a wider fuselage , larger windows , and military instrumentation , the aircraft was designated by the Army as the O - 58 and is often referred to by the liaison aircraft ' s generic nickname of “ Grasshopper . ” This plane was made in 1942 during the World War 2 .
Pure pursuit Pure pursuit is a type of pursuit curve used in aerial combat in which an aircraft pursues another aircraft by pointing its nose directly towards it . This is in contrast with lead pursuit , in which the chasing aircraft points ahead of the aircraft it is following ( typically used when attempting a gun attack ) and lag pursuit , in which the chasing aircraft points behind the aircraft it is following ( typically used when attempting a rear - aspect missile attack ) .

RML 10 inch 18 ton gun The RML 10 inch guns Mk I - Mk II were large rifled muzzle - loading guns designed for British battleships and monitor s . They were also fitted to the " Bouncer " - class flat - iron gunboat s . Design . The 10 - inch gun was a standard " Woolwich " design ( characterised by having a steel A tube with relatively few broad , rounded and shallow rifling grooves ) developed in 1868 , based on the successful Mk III 9 - inch gun , itself based on the " Fraser " system . The Fraser system was an economy measure applied to the successful Armstrong design for heavy muzzle - loaders , which were expensive to produce . It retained the Armstrong steel barrel surrounded by wrought - iron coils under tension , but replaced the multiple thin wrought - iron coils shrunk around it by a single larger coil ( 10 inch Mark I ) or 2 coils ( Mark II ) ; the trunnion ring was now welded to other coils ; and it eliminated Armstrong ' s expensive forged breech - piece . The gun was rifled with 7 grooves , increasing from 1 turn in 100 calibres to 1 in 40 . It was first used for the main armament on the central battery ironclad HMS " Hercules " , completed in late 1868 . A number of the Mk I guns on HMS " Hercules " and one of the two damaged guns in HMVS " Cerberus " suffered from cracked barrels . Presumably this is why only a few ( at least 25 ) Mk I guns were made . Ammunition . When the gun was first introduced in 1868 , projectiles had several rows of projecting " studs " which engaged with the gun ' s rifling to impart spin . From the mid - late 1870s , spin was imparted by " gas checks " connected to the base of the projectile which engaged the rifling grooves , making studs unnecessary , and hence the shells were designated " studless " . The gun ' s primary projectile was " Palliser " shot or shell , an early armour - piercing projectile for attacking armoured warships . A large " battering charge " of 70 pounds " P " ( pebble ) or 60 pounds " R . L . G . " ( rifle large grain ) gunpowder was used for the Palliser projectile to achieve maximum velocity and hence penetrating capability . Common ( i . e . ordinary explosive ) shells and shrapnel shell s were fired with the standard " full service charge " of 44 pounds " P " or 40 pounds R . L . G . gunpowder , as for these velocity was not as important . Surviving examples . One 10 inch Mk I Common Shell , one 10 inch Mk II Common Shell & one 10 inch Mk III Palliser Shot as part of the Victorian Navy display at the " Geelong Maritime Museum " , Australia . Details Various other guns are mounted or unmounted in Bermuda , with some lying outside of Fort St Catherine , having been rolled out when made obsolete , and a number having been found buried in the moat of Fort Cunningham ( the two mounted at Fort George are the RML 11 inch 25 ton gun ) . At least one has been erected on a display stand at Fort Hamilton , though the original mount is missing , and another at Alexandia Battery .
Asa Lewis Asa Lewis was a young Barren County , Kentucky farmboy , who was born about 1843 . Asa joined Company E , 6th Kentucky Infantry Regiment of the " Orphan Brigade " of the Confederate States Army , Lewis received no training , but was simply handed a rifle and told he was a soldier . Lewis served with distinction at the Battle of Shiloh in the American Civil War and was promoted to corporal . On December 26 , 1862 , General Braxton Bragg had the young Asa Lewis executed for desertion after he went home to make arrangements for the financial needs of his starving mother and sisters , his one year enlistment had expired . The civil war troops called going home , with intention of return a " French leave " . Asa Lewis was buried in the Murfreesboro City Cemetery . The bodies in that cemetery were moved after the war and the exact site of his grave has been lost but in 1996 , the Glasgow Cemetery in Kentucky allowed a tombstone to be erected " in memory of " the young Barren County boy . The execution of Asa Lewis deepened the resentment between the Kentuckians and General Bragg . The Kentuckians petitioned that the sentence be commuted , Gen . Bragg stood firm . Asa Lewis and William Horsfall of Newport , Kentucky , were the subject of a 2008 KET documentary hosted by Winchester , Kentucky native Matt Long .

Battle of Megalopolis The Battle of Megalopolis was fought in 331 BC between Spartan led forces and Macedonia . Alexander ' s regent Antipater led the Macedonians to victory over King Agis III . Background . In the autumn of 333 BC , the Spartan King Agis III had met with the Persia n commanders Pharnabazus and Autophradates , somewhere in the Aegean Sea , and revealed to them his plans for a war against Alexander — in Greece itself . The Persians agreed to support Agis ; however , they could only spare him 30 talents and 10 ships . Agis also recruited the Greek mercenary survivors of Issus - who had served in the Persian army – a force of 8 , 000 veterans . In the summer of 331 BC , Agis defeated Corrhagus , the Macedonian general in command of the Peloponnese and the garrison of Corinth . Meanwhile Antipater , Alexander ' s regent in Macedonia , was occupied in Thrace where the Macedonian general Memnon was involved in a rebellion . After that was solved , Antipater marched against King Agis . Antipater had recruited a large force , over 40 , 000 strong , with a core of Macedonian troops and substantial numbers of barbarians from the northern fringes of the empire , reinforced with troops from his Greek allies . Battle . The final battle , fought near Megalopolis in Arcadia , ended in defeat for the Spartans . Early in the battle Antipater ' s lines broke , but in the end it was the sheer weight of numbers that brought victory to the Macedonians . It is written 5 , 300 died on the Spartan side and 3 , 500 on the Macedonian side . For the Spartans that meant a death toll of over 25 percent . King Agis , now wounded and unable to stand , ordered his men to leave him behind to face the advancing Macedonian army so that he could buy his men time to retreat . On his knees , the Spartan king slew several enemy soldiers before being finally killed by a javelin .

Caproni Ca . 70 The Caproni Ca . 70 was a two - seat night fighter and ground attack biplane produced in Italy in 1925 . It was the only Italian aircraft designed from the outset as a night fighter . Design . The Caproni company designed the Ca . 70 to ensure good low - speed handling and good visibility from both cockpits , without any of the aircrafts structural elements obstructing the view of either crewman . Its two wings were of unequal span , and it had tailskid landing gear , an unusual feature of which was an oleo - pneumatic shock absorber on the main landing gear which allowed the wheels to travel forward in their linkage while the plane was taxiing . The 9 - cylinder , 313 - kilowatt ( 420 - horsepower ) Bristol Jupiter radial engine gave the Ca . 70 a top speed of per hour . Armament consisted of two fixed forward - firing 7 . 7 - millimeter Vickers machine gun s and a flexible 7 . 7 - millimeter Lewis machine gun on a Scarff ring in the rear cockpit . Operational history . The Ca . 70 first flew in 1925 . After the Caproni company finished its tests , it turned the aircraft over to the " Regia Aeronautica " ( Italian Royal Air Force ) , which tested it at Guidonia Montecelio in 1926 , and the Ca . 70 performed well , with good handling and performance . However , the " Regia Aeronautica " had little interest in procuring a two - seat night fighter , and no further examples were built . Caproni used the design of the Ca . 70 for as the basis for a derivative , the Caproni Ca . 71 prototype of 1927 .

39th New Jersey Volunteer Infantry The 39th New Jersey Volunteer Infantry was an infantry regiment from the state of New Jersey that was raised to fight in the American Civil War . It was one of three units to be raised after President Abraham Lincoln called for five hundred thousand more men in July 1864 to finish off the Confederacy . West Point graduate and Regular Army officer Abram Calvin Wildrick was appointed colonel and commander of the 39th New Jersey , and James H . Close , a veteran officer who served in the 2nd New Jersey Volunteer Infantry , became the regiment ' s lieutenant colonel . Because the unit was being organized late in the war , enlistees became hard to find . To attract more enrollees , bounties became higher than usual , yet by early October 1864 , only five companies had been organized . On October 4 , those five companies left the state for the front . By October 21 , the remainder of the regiment joined them , and the united unit had a total strength at about one thousand men . Through the next five months , the men of the 39th New Jersey experienced hard service in the trenches around Petersburg , Virginia . However , it wasn ' t until April 2 , 1865 , when the men of the 39th New Jersey fought their first actual pitched battle . On that day , the Union Army enacted assaults on Confederate positions , which were designed to break the Siege of Petersburg . At the onset of the Attack on Fort Mahone , the 39th New Jersey was charged with leading the assault and hacking through the enemy ' s defenses including the Cheval de frise . Four other veteran regiments from Vermont followed the charge but the 39th suffered heavy losses in the assault . At the end of the battle , the regiment suffered 17 killed and 74 wounded , a total of 91 casualties . The regiment was mustered out on June 17 , 1865 , with 819 men . On April 2 , 1865 , Colonel Wildrick received a brevet rank of brigadier general in the Regular Army for his leadership . Regimental statistics .

Sedena - Henschel HWK - 11 The Sedena Henschel HWK - 11 was a joint project between the Mexican defense secretary ( SEDENA ) and Henschel Wehrtechnik GmbH of West Germany . Development . The HWK - 11 came about at the request from the Mexican defense secretary for a new tracked armored troop carrying vehicle for the Mexican army . The HWK was mainly German designed although Mexico had some input in the design process in the form that Mexico set certain requirements and specifications for the vehicle and Mexico also designed the basic configuration of the hull . Production . In 1964 the first 12 vehicles were manufactured in West Germany and delivered to the Mexican Army while facilities were set up in Mexico to manufacture the vehicle locally . Initially 350 HWK - 11s were to be manufactured for the Mexican military but only 40 were manufactured in Mexico before production ceased in 1966 due to lack of interest from the Mexican government . Specifications . First Version - 1965 . The first versions of the HWK - 11 were strictly troop transport vehicles with only a single turret mounted 7 . 62 MG3 machine gun that could be fired from within the vehicle . This initial version featured a 180 hp engine and a two image intensifiers , one for the driver and one for the machine gun operator . Second Version - 1980 . In 1980 the vehicle was improved by the NIMDA company with the addition of a turret similar to that used on the French AMX - 10P but with more armor . This turret mounted a French M693 F1 20 mm automatic cannon , at this point the vehicle could now be considered a true infantry fighting vehicle ( IFV ) . The upgrade also included the upgrading of the vehicles engine to the 6V - 53 Detroit Diesel which produced 210 hp and allowed the vehicle to reach up to 70 km / h . Third Version - 1993 . In 1993 the vehicle was upgraded one more time , given a more powerful engine ( the type of which is unknown ) and new German made M113 caterpillar road wheels . The most significant upgrade to this new version is the addition of a fully enclosed turret mounting a computer controlled Rheinmetall MK 20 Rh202 20 mm automatic cannon .
