Dimitrios Karatasos Dimitrios Tsamis Karatasos ( , 1798 - 1861 ) , was a Greek armatolos , the son of Anastasios Karatasos who had proclaimed the Greek Revolution in the Naoussa area in 1821 . Karatasos was born in Dihalevri , Imathia , Macedonia in 1798 . He fought during the War of Independence , alongside his father , first in the Naoussa area and , after the destruction of Naoussa , in Rumeli . In 1828 , he was a leading figure in the final phase of the war to rid Rumeli of all Turkish military presence . Like his father , Dimitrios was a supporter of a Greek - Serbian Entente in order to relieve the Balkans from the Ottoman occupation . During the period 1844 - 1853 he ventured in the Serbian communities in Trieste and in Skopje in order to find support for a common cause . His assignments were semi - official and one could state that he was a kind of modern day political agent trying to forge alliances within the realm of secret diplomacy . After Greek independence , Tsamis Karatasos continued the struggle to liberate his native Greek Macedonians taking part in an 1854 liberation movement in Chalkidiki . He was one of the prime instigators of the revolt known by the epithet Yero ( Greek : " γέρο " meaning " elder one " ) , as " Yero - Tsamis " or " Yero - Karatasos " . The insurrections of the Macedonian Greeks had the support of King Otto of Greece who thought that " " liberation " " of Macedonia and other parts of Greece was possible , hoping on Russian support . The revolt , however , failed in its part having deteriorated the Greco - Turkish relations for the years to come . Karatasos strongly believed that only a Greek - Serbian agreement could accelerate the process of driving the Ottoman presence from the Balkans . In 1859 he made his claims public by writing articles in a Greek newspaper , whilst cajoled the representatives Serbian community in Greece in order to get support and advice for his goal . The Bavarian born king Otto , was affirmative and promoted Karatassos contacts . Therefore in 1861 he ventured to Belgrade in order to sign the first official treaty between the two states . During his stay there he died from unspecified reasons , presumably form an illness , when he was planning another uprising for the Serbs and Greeks . A few months later King Otto would be expelled from the country due to a popular uprising and the Greek - Serbian agreement will have to wait 25 years until the Greek Prime Minister Charilaos Trikoupis and his Serbian counterpart , sign the first agreement in 1887 .
Soft launch ( missile ) Soft launching is the method of launching a missile ( such as an anti - tank guided missile ) in such a way that the rocket motor ignites outside of the launch tube ; the missile is ejected non - explosively . The point is to minimize the risk of damage to the launcher by maintaining a safe distance . Contrast this with hard launch ing . A similar concept called cold launch was pioneered by the Soviets for application in vertical launch system clusters on board ships .
Daimler G . I The Daimler G . I , originally designated Daimler R . I , was a bomber aircraft designed and built in Germany from early in 1915 . Design and development . When the Daimler works entered the aircraft manufacture business they ordered a Union G . I from Union Flugzeugbau , which flew but disintegrated shortly before landing during a test - flight , due to severe engine vibrations . Daimler commenced to re - design the Union G . I , resulting in the Daimler R . I . Development of the Daimler bombers was accelerated by the use of former Union designers Baurat Rittberger and Ing . Karl Schopper , who proceeded to strengthen the structure and replace the Union G . Is troublesome inverted engines with upright Mercedes D . III s . Assembly of the R . Is and R . IIs took place at Sindelfingen , but most of the R . I and R . ll parts were built by the Stuttgart firm of Schiedmayer and taken to Sindelfingen for assembly . Flight trials commenced late in 1915 with relatively few engine problems but the structure had to be strengthened several times and three wing arrangements were also tested between 1915 and 1917 . A second R . I was built with a larger tail unit to improve directional control . Daimler also built six almost identical improved R . II aircraft in 1916 , two of which flew , the remaining four being crated and stored . The airframe of the R . I and R . II was typical of large German aircraft of the time , with a wooden fuselage and metal wings covered with fabric . The fuselage housed the crew in a gunners cockpit in the nose , cockpit amidships and a gunner ' s cockpit aft of the wings . The tail - unit consisted of a tailplane which supported a fin and rudder as well as two additional rudders at approximately half span . The undercarriage comprised a twin nose - wheel assembly , four main - wheels spread between the engine nacelles on the lower wings and a tail - skid . Engines were initially in tandem push - pull nacelles mounted directly on the lower wing , changing to streamlined nacelles mounted on struts mid gap on the R . II . Poor performance and competition from similar aircraft precluded production , but at least one R . I and two R . IIs were accepted by Idflieg and test flown till the middle of 1917 .
Vasily Andreyevich Dolgorukov Prince Vasily Andreyevich Dolgorukov ( ) ( 1804 – 1868 ) was a Russian statesman , General of the Cavalry ( 1856 , a full General equivalent ) , Minister of War ( 1852 – 1856 ) , Chief of Gendarmes and Executive Head of the Third Section of H .

Ground Training Competition The Ground Training Competition , or The Air Squadron Trophy Competition as it is has recently been renamed , was created in 1998 as a way for CCF ( RAF ) sections to contest the Air Squadron Trophy . The Regional & National Stages . Every CCF ( RAF ) section that can field a full team is eligible to partake in the Air Squadron Trophy Competition . The TEST ( Training , Evaluation & Support Teams ) Officers & SNCOs from each area tailor the composition of their regional competition to meet local needs . In general , however , teams of 13 cadets drawn from all age groups compete in a round robin of activities that include ; RAF Knowledge ( 13 Cadets ) , Drill ( 13 Cadets ) , Command Task ( 8 Cadets ) , Shooting ( 6 Cadets ) , Aircraft Recognition ( 6 Cadets ) , First Aid ( 4 Cadets ) and a Multi - Stage Fitness Test ( 4 Cadets ) . The first and second places teams from each of the six regions qualify for the national finals , held at RAF College Cranwell in Spring each year . Air Squadron Day . The first , second and third places teams are invited to attend the Air Squadron Day which is held at RAFC Cranwell on the first Sunday in July each year . During the day cadets may be offered flights in aircraft belonging to the Air Squadron members . The cadets also attend a formal parade , where the Captains of the three teams receive the Geoffrey de Havilland Flying Foundation Medals for CCF Achievement along with the presentation of The Air Squadron Trophy to the first placed team . Requirements for Entry . Each team will comprise one Team Captain ( Cadet Corporal or above ) and 12 other cadets , who should ideally represent a wide cross - section of age groups within the parent CCF ( RAF ) Section . The Team Captains role is to manage the team , to give the orders in the Drill competition and , if he or she wishes , to take part in events . An RAFVR ( T ) officer should accompany the teams . Results . The results in 2009 are particularly notable as each of the top three schools won only a single discipline each ( Command Task , Aircraft Recognition and RAF Knowledge respectively ) but , due to high overall scores in every discipline , each managed to achieve high scores overall . In 2010 Maidstone grammar school achieved first place in the competition for the third time in a row , being the first ever school to achieve this .
6th Panzer Division ( Wehrmacht ) The German 1st Light Brigade was a mechanized unit established in October 1937 in imitation of the French " Division Légère Mécanique " , intended to take on the roles of army - level reconnaissance and security that had traditionally been the responsibility of cavalry . It included mechanized recon units , motorized infantry , and a battalion of tanks . In 1938 it was enlarged to become the 1st Light Division ( sometimes described as " Light Mechanized " or " Light Panzer " to distinguish it from the later " Light " infantry divisions ) . In 1939 the division fought in the Invasion of Poland . Due to shortcomings that the campaign revealed in the organization of the Light divisions , it was reorganized as the 6th Panzer Division afterward in October 1939 . As the 6th Panzer Division , it participated in the 1940 Battle of France and then transferred east for the rest of the year . In June 1941 it joined Operation Barbarossa , fighting at first under Army Group North for Leningrad but soon transferring to Army Group Center , where it fought in the Battle of Moscow and the Rzhev - Vyazma Salient . By May 1942 , it had suffered such losses that it was withdrawn to France for rehabilitation . It returned to the Russian Front at the end of the year and participated in the failed attempt to relieve the Sixth Army at Battle of Stalingrad . Thereafter it fought in the battles of Kharkov and Kursk and the defensive battles back across the Ukraine and White Russia afterward . In early 1945 it was used in the attempts to relieve Budapest and then driven back into Austria , where it surrendered to the Soviets at the end of the war . References .

Non - Permanent Active Militia The Non - Permanent Active Militia ( NPAM ) was the name of Canada ' s part - time volunteer military force from the time of to 1940 . The NPAM ( also called " the Militia " though that term could also encompass the full - time standing army known as the Permanent Active Militia ( PAM ) ) was composed of several dozen infantry battalions ( redesignated as regiments in 1900 ) and cavalry regiments . With the withdrawal of the British forces in Canada after the turn of the 20th Century , supporting corps were created in Canada as part of both the PAM and the NPAM . The NPAM did not mobilize during the First World War , though large drafts of NPAM men went into the field force created in 1914 for that conflict , the Canadian Expeditionary Force . Some CEF units adopted regimental traditions from NPAM units . Following the war , the Otter Committee created a unique set of perpetuations , whereby the reorganized NPAM carried on the traditions of both the CEF and the prewar Militia in the Canadian Militia . In 1940 , the NPAM was redesignated the Canadian Army ( Reserve ) ; following the Second World War it was redesignated the Canadian Army Reserve Force , then the Canadian Army ( Militia ) , and finally became the reserve component of Force Mobile Command following Unification on February 1 , 1968 . However , the historic title " Militia " continued to be applied to the reserve component of Canada ' s land forces .

Yokosuka Ro - go Ko - gata The Yokosuka Ro - go Ko - gata was a Japanese reconnaissance floatplane developed during the First World War by the Japanese Navy Arsenal at Yokosuka , and one of the first indigenous Japanese aircraft to enter production . There were 218 of these aircraft built for the Imperial Japanese Navy , which remained in use until 1928 . Development and design . The Japanese Navy Arsenal at Yokosuka became involved in aircraft production in 1913 , when an aeroplane factory was set up , with its first work being to build several Maurice Farman and Curtiss Seaplanes . It continued to build aircraft under license , including more Farman aircraft and several Short 184 seaplanes , as well as prototypes of several of its own designs . In 1917 , Chikuhei Nakajima , chief designer of the Yokosuka Arsenal aircraft factory designed a new reconnaissance floatplane , with a prototype of the new design , powered by a 140 hp ( 104 kW ) Salmson water - cooled radial engine , making its maiden flight early in 1918 . Test results were good , and the type was ordered into production as the Ro - go Ko - gata . The Ro - go Ko - gata was a three - bay biplane of wood and fabric construction , with twin main floats and wings that folded backwards for storage . Its crew of two sat in separate , closely spaced cockpits . Initial production aircraft were powered by 200 hp ( 149 kW ) Salmson engines , but the majority of production aircraft were fitted with 200 – 220 hp ( 149 – 164 kW ) Mitsubishi - built Hispano - Suiza 8 V - 8 engines . A total of 218 aircraft were built in total , 32 by the Yokosuka arsenal , 80 by Aichi and 106 by the Nakajima Aircraft Company , with production continuing until 1924 . It was the first locally designed aircraft to be built in large numbers for the Japanese Navy . Operational history . Three of the early aircraft were modified in 1919 for making long - range flights , with one of the cockpits replaced by additional fuel storage , allowing a record flight of 1 , 300 km ( 808 mi ) to be flown in 11 hours , 35 min on 20 April 1919 . The Ro - go Ko - gata , along with licensed built Hansa - Brandenburg W . 29 s , replaced the obsolete pusher Farmans in Japanese Navy service , remaining in large scale service until 1926 , being re - designated Yokosho - Type Reconnaissance Seaplane in 1923 . Several were sold for civilian use , and were used to carry air - mail until 1928 .
