Albatros C . III The Albatros C . III was a German two - seat general - purpose biplane of World War I , built by Albatros Flugzeugwerke . The C . III was a refined version of the successful Albatros C . I and was eventually produced in greater numbers than any other C - type Albatros . It was used in a wide variety of roles including observation , photo - reconnaissance , light - bombing and bomber escort . 18 C . IIIs were delivered in August 1916 to Bulgaria . They were destroyed in 1920 in accordance with the clauses of the Peace Treaty . [ 1 ] Like its predecessor , the C . III was a popular aircraft with rugged construction and viceless handling . The most prominent difference between the two was the revised tail , the C . III having a lower , rounded tail compared to the large , triangular tail of the C . I , granting the C . III greater agility . The power plant was either a 110 kW ( 150 hp ) Benz Bz . III or a 120 kW ( 160 hp ) Mercedes D . III inline engine and , like numerous other two - seaters of the war ( such as the British Royal Aircraft Factory R . E . 8 ) the cylinder head and exhaust manifold protruded above the front fuselage , limiting the pilot ' s forward visibility . The observer , who occupied the rear cockpit , was armed with 7 . 92 mm ( 0 . 312 in ) Parabellum MG14 machine gun . Some C . III aircraft were fitted with an interrupter gear and a single forward - firing 7 . 92 mm ( 0 . 312 in ) LMG 08 / 15 machine gun . The C . III could also carry a bomb load of up to 90 kg ( 200 lb ) in a small internal bomb bay . Between 1926 and 1927 , two Mercedes D . III engined copies were built from saved parts and components of the destroyed aircraft by the Bulgarian state aircraft workshops as the DAR 2 for use as trainers . Variants .

The battle was part of Sir William Phips and New England ' s military campaign against Acadia . New England sent an overwhelming force to conquer Acadia by capturing the capital Port Royal , Chedabucto , and attacking other villages . The aftermath of these battles was unlike any of the previous military campaigns against Acadia . The violence of the attacks alienated many of the Acadians from the New Englanders , broke their trust , and made it difficult for them to deal amicably with the English - speakers . Historical context . Clerbaud Bergier led other merchants from La Rochelle , France in enjoying a fishing monopoly in Acadia . In 1682 , Fort St . Louis was established by the Company of Acadia ( Compagnie de la Peche Sedentaire ) to protect the fishery . The principal port was at Chedabucto Bay , which accounted for fifty fishers in 1686 . Dauphin de Montorgueil was the commandant at Fort Saint - Louis . Bergier ' s monopoly was contested by other Acadian merchants , among them Acadian governor Michel Leneuf de la Vallière de Beaubassin , who had been selling fishing licenses to New Englanders . There were various intentions behind the New England attack on Acadia . Some wanted the expedition to lay the foundation for a profitable postwar relations with the Mi ' kmaq and Acadians , while others sought only to punish them for their alleged complicity in recent attacks against New England . Battle . As part of Sir William Phips ' expedition to capture the capital of Acadia Port Royal , Phips sent Captain Cyprian Southack to Chedabacto with 80 men to destroy Fort Saint - Louis and the surrounding French fishery . Louis - Alexandre des Friches de Meneval was stationed at the fort with 12 soldiers . The soldiers at Fort Saint - Louis , unlike those at Port Royal , put up a fight before surrendering . They tried to defend the fort for over six hours , until fire bombs burned the fort to the ground . Southack destroyed the enormous amount of 50 , 000 crowns of fish . The garrison capitulated on honorable terms and were sent to the French capital of Newfoundland , Plaisance . Consequences . Phips also dispatched Capt . John Alden who raided Cape Sable ( present - day south - west Nova Scotia ) as well as the villages around the Bay of Fundy , particularly Grand Pre and Chignecto . France regained control of Port Royal the following year . Joseph Robineau de Villebon , one of Meneval ' s assistants , returned to Port Royal from France . He reestablished French authority in Port Royal . The Company of Acadia encountered a variety of difficulties on the way to its final dissolution in 1702 . Fort Saint - Louis remained in use at Chedabucto until the community was destroyed in the Squirrel Affair ( 1718 ) .

Southern Military Institute The Southern Military Institute is a proposed all - male Christian military academy . It was proposed as a response to the court decisions allowing women into Virginia Military Institute ( VMI ) and The Citadel . The proponents wish to create an environment similar to that of VMI in the 19th century . The Southern Poverty Law Center ( SPLC ) has labeled it a neoconfederate group . Its head is COL Michael J . Guthrie , Ph . D . ( USA Ret . ) of Madison , Alabama , a research physicist and retired National Guard Officer . Guthrie has been criticized by the national media and the SPLC for being a former member of the League of the South and for having promoted the school at a convention of the Council of Conservative Citizens . It was once planned to be built in Shelbyville , Tennessee , but the proponents were not able to raise sufficient funds to purchase the property . Subsequently the group sought to purchase another site in Middle Tennessee , the old Franklin County High School ( FCHS ) in Winchester , Tennessee , but that effort was ended July 2006 . Earlier attempts at purchasing the former campus of Ambassador College in Big Sandy , Texas and Morristown College in Morristown , Tennessee were also unscuccessful . SMI is currently exploring the possibility of acquiring the old Tennessee Military Institute ( TMI ) property in Sweetwater , Tennessee and other opportunities in Franklin County , Tennessee . To date , no property has been acquired for the campus , although fundraising and planning continues .

Caproni Ca . 20 The Caproni Ca . 20 was one of the first modern monoplane purpose - built fighter s . It was developed by Giovanni Battista Caproni in 1914 . The only prototype that was produced is today on display at the Museum of Flight in the United States . History of the Design . The Ca . 20 was derived from the Ca . 18 an observation monoplane that had been developed starting in 1913 from the previous models Ca . 8 and Ca . 16 . It used a more powerful engine , the Rhône . It used an unusual rounded nose cover for the wooden propeller which was cowled smoothly to match the fuselage . The cover was pierced to allow cooling of the engine . The improved aerodynamics helped speed and manoeuvrability . Designed as a fighter , a Lewis machine gun was installed above the pilot , placed above the propeller disc , with an eye level sight . The first synchronization devices , which allow a weapon to shoot with confidence through the blades of a propeller in motion , would not make their appearance until the Fokker " Eindecker " during 1915 , although many experiments were conducted by the French since 1913 . History of the Prototype Model . Only a single Caproni Ca . 20 was ever built , because the Italian government rejected the design in favor of bomber aircraft . The prototype was stored in a barn on Giovanni Battista Caproni ' s property for 85 years , before being sold to the Museum of Flight in Seattle in 1999 . Luckily , the dry climate had preserved the aircraft . With the exception of the tires , which had been gnawed by rodents , the prototype Caproni Ca . 20 on display at the Seattle Museum of Flight includes all its original parts .
