Bell 212 The Bell 212 Twin Huey ( also known as the " Twin Two - Twelve " ) is a two - blade , twin - engine , medium helicopter that first flew in 1968 . Originally manufactured by Bell Helicopter in Fort Worth , Texas , production was moved to Mirabel , Quebec , Canada in 1988 , along with all Bell commercial helicopter production after that plant opened in 1986 . The 212 is marketed to civilian operators and has a fifteen - seat configuration , with one pilot and fourteen passengers . In cargo configuration the 212 has an internal capacity of 220 ft³ ( 6 . 23 m³ ) . An external load of up to 5 , 000 lb ( 2 , 268 kg ) can be carried . Development . Based on the stretched fuselage Bell 205 , the Bell 212 was originally developed for the Canadian Forces as the CUH - 1N and later redesignated as the CH - 135 . The Canadian Forces took delivery of 50 starting in May 1971 . At the same time the United States military services ordered 294 Bell 212s under the designation UH - 1N . By 1971 the 212 had been developed for commercial applications . Among the earliest uses of the 212 in civil aviation was by Helicopter Service AS of Norway to be used in support of offshore oil rigs . Today the 212 can be found used in logging operations , maritime rescue and resupply in the Arctic on the Distant Early Warning Line or North Warning System . The 212 ' s main rotor is powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6T - 3 Twin - Pac made up of two coupled PT6 power turbines driving a common gearbox . They are capable of producing up to 1 , 800 shp ( 1 , 342 kW ) . Should one engine fail the remaining engine can deliver 900 shp ( 671 kW ) for 30 minutes , or 765 shp ( 571 kW ) continuously , enabling the 212 to maintain cruise performance at maximum weight . Early 212s configured with an Instrument Flight Rules ( IFR ) instrument package were required to have a large and very obvious fin attached to the roof of the aircraft , above and slightly behind the cockpit . This fin was initially determined necessary to alter the turning performance of the aircraft during complex instrument flight maneuvers , but now not required due to revised stipulations of the type certificate . Many aircraft still fly with the modification . In 1979 , with the purchase of eight by the Civil Air Authority , the 212 became the first U . S . helicopter sold in PRC . The ICAO designator for this aircraft as used in a flight plan is " B212 " . Bell developed the Model 212 further with the Bell 412 ; the major difference being the composite four - blade main rotor . The last Bell 212 was delivered in 1998 .

Battle of Waynesboro , Virginia The Battle of Waynesboro was fought on March 2 , 1865 , at Waynesboro in Augusta County , Virginia , during the American Civil War . It was the final battle for Confederate Lt . Gen . Jubal Early , whose force was destroyed . Background . On February 27 , 1865 , Maj . Gen . Philip Sheridan rode with two cavalry divisions from Winchester " up " the Shenandoah Valley toward Staunton . He had orders to take his cavalry south to join Maj . Gen . William T . Sherman ' s army in the Carolinas Campaign . After crossing the North Fork of the Shenandoah River on March 28 , Brig . Gen . George Armstrong Custer ' s division encountered some 300 Confederate cavalrymen under Brig . Gen . Thomas Rosser guarding the Middle River near the village of Mount Crawford . Rosser set a long covered bridge on fire , hoping to delay the Federals . Custer ordered two of his regiments to swim across the river and strike Rosser ' s flank , while additional regiments stormed the bridge . Custer successfully drove off Rosser ' s meager force , extinguished the fire , and rode on to Staunton , where they were joined by the bulk of Sheridan ' s force the next day . Battle . Desiring to eliminate Early ' s small force as a threat to his rear and perhaps wanting to remain in Virginia to help finish off Robert E . Lee ' s Army of Northern Virginia near Richmond and Petersburg , Sheridan turned east instead of proceeding to Sherman . Custer ' s Union division slogged through muddy roads in cold downpour , and on March 2 encountered the last remnant of Early ' s Army of the Valley at Waynesboro . Aligned in a defensive position along a ridge in front of the South River , Early had placed his artillery ( 11 to 14 guns ) in a good position to contest any Federal advance . However , he left his left flank exposed , supposing ( incorrectly ) that a dense woods would impede any Union thrust in that direction . After a brief stand - off , a determined Federal attack rolled up Early ' s left flank and scattered his small force . CSA general William Henry Harman was killed attempting to rally the routing Confederates . Aftermath . More than 1 , 500 Confederates surrendered , while Early and a few of his staff evaded capture . Sheridan crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains to Charlottesville and then raided south , destroying the James River Canal locks near Goochland Court House . He joined forces with the Army of the Potomac near Petersburg on March 26 for the opening of the Appomattox Campaign . Early was sacked by Lee and never received another field assignment for the rest of the war .
