They were deactivated in the late 1950s and remain in an inactive status today . History . World War II . VMF - 123 was activated on September 7 , 1942 at Naval Air Station San Diego . A large percentage of the squadron ’ s initial pilots came from the experienced VMF - 121 hoping it would require them less time to become combat ready . The squadron left the United States on January 8 , 1943 and were operating from Henderson Field on Guadalcanal less than a month later , flying their first combat mission on February 4 , 1943 . Because they were the last of the Marine fighter squadrons to arrive in the Solomon Islands , VMF - 123 was the last of these eight squadrons to transition from the F4F Wildcat to the F4U Corsair . In August 1943 , the squadron moved to the new field at Munda in the Central Solomon Islands and flew their first mission from there on August 14 , 1943 . The arrival on Munda coincided with the landings on Vella Lavella which were constantly under attack from Japan ese aircraft based on Bougainville . VMF - 123 was one of many squadrons that fought Japanese aircraft for control of the skies over Vella Lavella . The squadron was split up in September 1943 with half remaining on Munda and the other half moving to a field in the Russell Islands . Their last mission in the South Pacific was flown in November 1943 and the squadron returned to the United States on December 14 , 1943 . VMF - 123 spent almost all of 1944 resting and refitting .

Badoglio Proclamation The Badoglio Proclamation was a speech read on Ente Italiano per le Audizioni Radiofoniche ( EIAR ) at 19 : 42 on 8 September 1943 by marshal Pietro Badoglio , Italian head of government , announcing that the Cassibile armistice between Italy and the Allies signed on 3 September had come into force . It followed a speech on Radio Algiers by U . S . General Dwight D . Eisenhower at 18 : 30 ( 17 : 30 Algerian time ) also announcing the armistice . Results . The abandonment of Rome by the military high command , the head of government Badoglio , king Vittorio Emanuele III and the king ' s son Umberto , their move towards Pescara then Brindisi , and above all the proclamation ' s use of a format which did not give the clauses of the armistice in a clearly comprehensible form ( which was largely wrongly interpreted as meaning a complete end to the war ) all led to confusion . This was particularly so among the Italian armed forces on all fronts , who remained unaware of the armistice ' s precise content and disbanded themselves . Over 600 , 000 Italian soldiers were captured by the German army and sent to various prisoner of war camps under the designation I . M . I . ( " internati militari italiani " , or Italian military internees ) in the weeks immediately after the announcement . More than half of all Italian soldiers laid down their arms and returned home ( as referred to in the title of the 1960 film set at the time , " Tutti a casa " ) . The Italian and German high commands intercepted the Eisenhower broadcast first and so the Germans immediately put Operation Achse into effect to disarm their former allies and occupy the whole Italian peninsula , on 9 September sinking the Italian battleship " Roma " , which had been ordered on the night of 8 September to sail with the entire Italian fleet to Malta in accordance with the armistice ' s clauses , under the cover - story of attacking the Allied forces landing at Salerno in Operation Baytown . At the same time part of the Italian armed forces decided to remain loyal to the king , giving rise to the Italian resistance ( one of whose first examples ended in the annihilation of the 33 Mountain Infantry Division Acqui on Cefalonia by the Germans ) and part joined the free individuals , parties and movements such as the Brigata Maiella . Other branches , especially in the north , such as the Xª Flottiglia MAS , decided to remain loyal to fascist Italy and the Germans . Despite the proclamation , the Allies thwarted a massive and immediate release of Italian prisoners of war loyal to the Italian king and the Badoglio regime , to avoid their possibly rejoining the Fascist forces in northern Italy .

Melsbroek also was operated by the RCAF ( Royal Canadian Air Force ) and the RAF during World War II ( after the 1944 liberation ) . Operation Bodenplatte , the German aerial attack of 1 January 1945 , hit Melsbroek hard . According to Emil Clade ( leading III . / JG 27 ) , the AAA positions were not manned , and aircraft were bunched together or in lines , which made perfect targets . The attack caused considerable damage among the units based there and was a great success . The Recce Wings had lost two entire squadrons worth of machines .

Some 15 to 20 USAAF bombers were also destroyed . Another source states that that 13 Wellingtons were destroyed , as were five Mosquitoes , four Auster and five Avro Anson s from the Tactical Air Forces 2nd Communications Squadron . Three Spitfires were also lost and two damaged . At least one RAF Transport Command Douglas Dakota was destroyed . After the war , Melsbroek replaced Haren Airfield as the Belgian national airport . That title is now carried by the Zaventem terminal on the same aerodrome , built for the 1958 world exposition . At that time , the existing terminal was taken over by the then Belgian Air Force . When Trans European Airways existed , its head office was in Building 117 of Melsbroek Airport . When CityBird existed its head office was in Building 117D .
SS Glentworth SS " Glentworth was a shelter deck cargo steamship built in 1920 by Hawthorn Leslie & Co . in Newcastle - upon - Tyne , England for R . S . Dalgliesh and Dalgliesh Steam Shipping Co . Ltd . , also of Newcastle - upon - Tyne . After the Great Depression affected UK merchant shipping in the first years of the 1930s , Dalgliesh sold " Glentworth " to a company controlled by Counties Ship Management ( an offshoot of the Rethymnis & Kulukundis shipbroking company of London ) who renamed her SS " Box Hill . The ship was equipped with direction finding equipment and radio . Her stokehold had 12 corrugated furnaces with a combined grate area of . They heated three 200 lb / in single - ended boilers with a combined heating surface of . She was built as a turbine steamer : two steam turbines with a combined power output of 620 NHP drove the shaft to the single propellor by reduction gearing . However , when she changed hands in 1934 she was re - engined with a Hawthorn Leslie 586 NHP three - cylinder triple expansion steam engine . The conversion retained her original boilers , but her furnaces were converted to oil burning . Late in 1939 " Box Hill " sailed from St John , New Brunswick bound for Hull with a cargo of 8 , 452 tons wheat . On New Year ' s Eve she was in the North Sea off the Humber lightship when she struck a German mine . The explosion broke her back and she sank almost immediately with the loss of all hands . " Box Hill " was Counties Ship Management ' s first loss of the Second World War . CSM ' s losses continued until just a week before the surrender of Japan in August 1945 , by which time the company had lost a total of 13 ships . Both sections of " Box Hill " s wreck were a hazard to shipping and showed above the water . In 1952 the Royal Navy dispersed her remains with high explosive and Admiralty charts now mark her position as a " foul " ground .
