Francis W . Gillet Francis Warrington Gillet ( 28 November 1895 – 21 December 1969 ) was an American flying ace who served in both the American and British armed forces as a pilot during World War I . Biography . He was born in Baltimore , Maryland on 28 November 1895 . He graduated from the University of Virginia before joining the U . S . Army Signal Corps as an aviation cadet . After preliminary flight training , he was given a conditional discharge as too young to be commissioned an officer . He then enlisted in the Royal Flying Corps ( soon Royal Air Force ) in Canada using the name Frederick . There he finished his basic flight training , received his pilot ' s wings and was commissioned a second lieutenant . In England , after receiving advanced training as a fighter pilot , he was assigned to No . 79 Squadron in France on 29 March 1918 . The squadron was flying the Sopwith Dolphin , an unusual biplane distinguished by its " negative stagger " wing arrangement , a type Gillet had not flown before . After becoming acclimated to the Dolphin and honing his combat skills , he scored his first victory in August . From then to November 1918 , Gillet was credited with 17 German airplanes and three observation balloons , all assessed as destroyed . The 100 % ratio of destroyed was extremely unusual , as most British Commonwealth aces had numerous " out of control " credits . Though he flew exclusively with the British , Gillet ' s record of 20 victories ranked him second among all American fliers in the Great War , behind Eddie Rickenbacker . He was promoted to captain and served for a short time as the commanding officer of his squadron . His decorations include the British Distinguished Flying Cross and bar and the Belgian Croix de Guerre . After the war , he returned to the United States and obtained his release from the U . S . Army Signal Reserve Corps and entered the family business . Gillet pursued a successful , lengthy business career and died at age 74 on 21 December 1969 .
Castel Capuano Castel Capuano is a castle in Naples , southern Italy . It takes its name from the fact that it was at that point in the city walls where the road led out to the city of Capua . The castle is at the east end of via dei Tribunali and until recently housed the Naples Hall of Justice , which has now moved to the new Civic Center , the " Centro Direzionale " . The structure was built in the 12th century by William I , the son of Roger II of Sicily , the first monarch of the Kingdom of Naples . It was expanded by Frederick II of Hohenstaufen and became one of his royal palaces . In the 16th century , under the Spanish viceroyship of Pedro Álvarez de Toledo , all of the city ' s various legal offices and departments were consolidated here and it became the Hall of Justice - known as the " Vicaria " - the basements of which served as a prison . Over the entrance to the castle is still visible the crest of Emperor Charles V , who visited Naples in 1535 . The castle has undergone many restorations , one as recent as 1860 , and no longer retains much of its original appearance .

AN / FPS - 24 Radar The AN / FPS - 24 Radar was a Long Range Search Radar used by the United States Air Force Air Defense Command . General Electric built this frequency diverse ( FD ) long range search radar designed to operate in the Very High Frequency ( VHF ) at 214 to 236 MHz . There were problems with this radar at the test site at Eufaula AFS ( Eufaula , Alabama ) in 1960 . These problems required many modifications . Additional problems occurred when deployment was attempted in 1961 with the first production model at Point Arena Air Force Station in California . When the radar finally deployed , bearing problems often occurred due to the 85 . 5 - ton antenna weight . Failures of the 9 - foot hydrostatic bearing often caused the early closure of some sites due to catastrophic damage to the support tower , sail , and feed horn . Twelve systems were built between 1958 and 1962 . The prototype at Eufaula , Alabama , was perched atop a steel lattice structure tower of shorter ( but unconfirmed ) height . Depending on the location it was to be deployed in operational production , the radar antenna ( sail ) itself was perched atop one of two different towers : a cast - in - place concrete tower or a metal - sided steel - framed tower both with equal dimensions of 84 ' 6 " in height and side dimensions of 60 ' 3 " square ( 63 ' 3 " square when including the thickness of corner buttresses ) . This tower design was also used for the AN / FPS - 35 frequency diverse SAGE search radar built by Sperry Corporation . The FPS - 24 radar antenna sail rotated between 5 to 6 revolutions per minute ( depending on wind conditions ) and was often the cause of microwave interference reported by nearby residents who could hear the radar signal in television and radio broadcasts . At some locations , the radar signal was " blanked " as it passed over television broadcast antenna sites such as Mt . Loma Prieta in the Santa Cruz Mountains , California . However , at DEFCON 3 or higher , the signal was ordered " unblanked " in all directions . The 7 . 5 Megawatt ( maximum power ) transmitter ran in normal operation at 5 Megawatt output pulse ( nearly 20 microseconds in duration ) and was conveyed from the transmitter to the antenna feed horn via a 9 - inch diameter rigid coaxial connector . The feed horn consisted of a cross dipole antenna design for both A and B channels . In operation . Two of the FPS - 24 radar installations had the benefit of being covered by a fiberglass dome . One such installation was at Cottonwood Air Force Station , Idaho . The other was at Mt Hebo Air Force Station , Oregon . Post - operation . Subsequent to USAF site closures , some FPS - 24 radar units were upgraded to Air Route Surveillance Radar ( ARSR ) units for USAF - FAA joint surveillance duty .
