Vought YA - 7F The Vought YA - 7F " Strikefighter " was a prototype transonic attack aircraft based on the subsonic A - 7 Corsair II . Two prototypes were converted from A - 7Ds . The YA - 7F was not ordered into production , its intended role being filled by the F - 16 Fighting Falcon . Design and development . In 1985 , the USAF requested proposals for a fast strike aircraft because of concerns that A - 10 Thunderbolt II was too slow for interdiction . The design called for a new engine , either the Pratt & Whitney F100 - PW - 220 or General Electric F110 - GE 100 . LTV responded with the YA - 7F , a supersonic version of A - 7 powered by an F100 - PW - 220 with 26 , 000 lbf ( 116 kN ) thrust . To accommodate the new engine , the fuselage was lengthened about 4 ft ( 1 . 22 m ) . New fuselage sections were inserted in both the forward and aft fuselage - a 30 in ( 76 cm ) section in front of the wing and an 18 in ( 46 cm ) section behind the wing . The wing was strengthened and fitted with new augmented flaps , leading edge extensions and automatic maneuvering flaps . The vertical stabilizer height was increased about 10 in ( 25 cm ) , the unit horizontal tail was flipped from dihedral to anhedral , and control surfaces were flattened . Unsurprisingly , the end result resembled the supersonic F - 8 Crusader from which the original subsonic A - 7 was derived . Many of the vehicle systems and mission systems were heavily modified and upgraded with leading edge technology , including a Molecular Sieve Oxygen Generating System and better cockpit displays . Low Altitude Night Attack Systems , an improved HUD and many software enhancements for navigation and weapons delivery were planned and being designed concurrently by Vought Dallas . The new supersonic A - 7 could accelerate with a bomb load from 400 to in under 15 seconds and could sustain Mach 1 . 6 for longer times with the extra fuel . The YA - 7F modifications allowed 7 - g turn and burn capability that permitted high - speed sustained evasive maneuvers plus great improvements in high angle of attack performance . As a CAS / BAI platform to penetrate into enemy territory and return safely , the " Strikefighter " moniker was most fitting . Two A - 7Ds were extensively modified , the first one flying on 29 November 1989 , and breaking the sound barrier on its second flight . The second prototype flew on 3 April 1990 . The project was canceled due to improved relations with former adversaries , lower defense budgets , and the Air National Guard , by then the principal US operator of the A - 7 , generally favoring the in - production F - 16 Fighting Falcon .

Hand was repatriated in 1919 and returned to Canada . He became a magistrate . He also helped found the Toronto Flying Club . References .

General of the Air Force ( United States ) General of the Air Force ( GAF ) is a five - star general officer rank and is the highest possible rank in the United States Air Force . General of the Air Force ranks immediately above a general and is equivalent to General of the Army in the United States Army and Fleet Admiral in the United States Navy ; there is no established equivalent five - star rank in the other four uniformed services ( Marine Corps , Coast Guard , PHSCC , and NOAA Corps ) . History . The insignia for General of the Army and General of the Air Force were originally the same . The insignia for General of the Air Force was slightly modified in the 1950s for wear on the new blue Air Force dress uniform . The insignia of General of the Air Force , however , has never been worn by an officer of the present day ( 1947 – present ) Air Force on active duty . Public Law 333 of the 79th Congress changed the five - star rank to a permanent grade , and established that officers placed on the retirement list while in that grade would receive full pay and allowances ( under Public Law 282 first establishing this grade , retirement had been at 75 per centum ) . The only person to hold the rank of General of the Air Force has been Henry H . Arnold . Arnold was a General of the Army ( promoted 21 December 1944 under Public Law 282 of the 78th Congress ) and was placed on the retired list on 30 June 1946 while the United States Army Air Forces were a component of the U . S . Army . On 7 May 1949 , under Public Law 58 of the 81st Congress , his rank was re - designated General of the Air Force , and Arnold was photographed in an Air Force uniform wearing the insignia of that rank . During the Cold War , with the rise of the Strategic Air Command , it was proposed but not authorized by law that General of the Air Force be granted to General Curtis LeMay , with the rank continued for use and granted to such senior generals such as the Chief of Staff of the Air Force , the commander of the Strategic Air Command ( SAC ) and the commander of the North American Aerospace Defense Command ( NORAD ) . As a result , General of the Air Force can be seen on modern insignia charts and it is still considered an official rank of the United States Air Force . Equivalent Ranks . The Air Force ' s rank of General of the Air Force is equivalent to the U . S . Army ' s rank of General of the Army and the U . S . Navy ' s rank of fleet admiral . The United States ' rank of General of the Air Force is equivalent to the air force rank of marshal of the Air Force in other countries .

Cold War Victory Medal . The National Guard of Louisiana authorizes the award of the Cold War Victory Medal . The National Guard of Alaska authorizes the award of the Cold War Victory Ribbon .

S . Armed Forces . The Military Order of Foreign Wars of the United States has officially adopted the medal in recognition of those who served during the Cold War . U . S . Armed Forces retirees , veterans and civilian governmental employees who served honorably during the Cold War may augment their certificate by privately purchasing and wearing the medal solely on civilian attire .

Airco DH . 3 The Airco DH . 3 was a British bomber aircraft of the First World War . The DH . 3 was designed in 1916 as a long range day bomber by Geoffrey de Havilland , Chief Designer at the Aircraft Manufacturing Company . It was a large biplane with wide - span three - bay wings , slender fuselage , and a curved rudder . It was powered by two 120 hp ( 89 kW ) Beardmore engines , mounted as pushers between the wings . In addition to tailskid landing gear , two wheels were placed beneath the nose to prevent bumping . A second prototype , designated D . H . 3A , was built with more powerful ( 160 hp / 119 kW ) Beardmore engines , and the War Office placed a production order for 50 . This order was cancelled , however , before any could be completed , because strategic bombing was not thought to be worthwhile , and twin engined bombers were claimed to be impracticable . The two prototypes were scrapped in 1917 . The DH . 10 was a development of the DH . 3 which first flew in March 1918 , but was too late to see squadron service during the war .
