Tule Lake Air Force Station Tule Lake Air Force Station is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station . It is located southeast of Newell , California . It was closed in 1997 . History . Development of Tule Lake AFS can be traced to work undertaken by USAF Rome Air Development Center [ RADC ] engineers in the early 1970s who were developing an over the horizon backscatter radar ( OTH - B ) system . The system was based on a frequency modulation / continuous wave ( FM / CW ) radar capable of detecting and tracking objects at over - the - horizon ranges . In concept it involved bouncing radar signals off the ionosphere which allows radar to overcome the curvature of the earth . A small scale test receiver / transmitter was established in central western Maine at what would become Moscow AFS by the early 1980s . Initial testing was conducted from June 1980 to June 1981 . Successful testing resulted in the decision to develop operational OTH - B systems for the east and west coasts and in Alaska . The west coast OTH - B system was designed and built by GE Aerospace and consisted of an AN / FPS - 118 radar with the transmitter located at Christmas Valley AFS , Oregon and the receiver at the newly constructed Tule Lake AFS , California . The transmitter and receiver stations were manned by personnel of the 777th Radar Squadron . Data processing took place at Mountain Home AFB , Idaho . The fall of the Soviet Union and end of the Cold War saw the OTH - B systems rendered obsolete for detecting intruding military aircraft , however , the OTH - B continued operations until 1997 and its data saw use by the United States Border Patrol for tracking aircraft used by drug smugglers , as well as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration which made use of the measurements of ocean currents and weather patterns . The facility was placed in " warm storage " in 1997 and in 2002 it was deactivated and placed in " cold storage " with equipment removed from the site .

Bill Speakman William Speakman - Pitt , VC ( born 21 September 1927 ) is a British recipient of the Victoria Cross , the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces .

Marcus Perpenna Vento Marcus Perpenna Vento or Perperna ( died 72 BC ) was a Roman statesman and general . He betrayed Quintus Sertorius , and was executed by Pompey the Great . Perpenna belonged to the " populares " faction , led by Gaius Marius and Lucius Cornelius Cinna . After Lucius Cornelius Sulla defeated the " populares " faction in Italy and became Dictator of Rome , Perpenna fled with a substantial sum of money and an army . He took refuge in Hispania ( the Iberian Peninsula , comprising modern Spain and Portugal ) , where he was determined to wage war against Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius on his own , despite the fact that Sertorius was already present in the province and was more or less ruling it . However , Perpenna ' s soldiers were dissatisfied with his leadership , and when they learned that Pompey was crossing the Pyrenees , they demanded that Perpenna take them to Sertorius , or they would abandon him to Pompey ' s mercies while they took themselves to Sertorius . Perpenna yielded to the demands of the legions , and handed them over to Sertorius . This was not done with good will , and Perpenna , conscious of his noble bloodline and wealth , viewed the entire affair as a humiliation . Sertorius ' string of victories soon began to inspire discontent in the Roman nobles and senators that made up the higher classes of his domain . These people grew jealous of Sertorius ' power , and Perpenna , aspiring to take Sertorius ' place , encouraged that jealousy for his own ends . They took to damaging Sertorius ' measures for victory , or oppressing the local Iberian tribes in his name . This stirred discontent and revolt in the tribes , which resulted in a cycle of oppression and revolt , with Sertorius none the wiser as to who was creating such mischief . Perpenna then proceeded to invite Sertorius to a feast to celebrate a supposed victory . While under most circumstances , any festivities to which Sertorius was invited were conducted with great propriety , this particular feast was vulgar , designed to offend the skillful general . Disgusted , Sertorius changed his posture on the couch , intent on ignoring them all . At this , Perpenna gave the signal to his minions , and they murdered the unsuspecting Sertorius on the spot . Upon learning of the death of Sertorius , the Iberian tribes sent ambassadors to Pompey and surrendered to him . Perpenna managed to retain control of the Roman renegades who had followed Sertorius , and engaged Pompey in battle . Crushed , he attempted to plead for his life , offering to give Pompey all of Sertorius ' papers and letters , which would document contacts with the highest levels of Roman government and society . Pompey indicated he would accept the papers , and when they had all been gathered together , he burned them , averting the possibility of another civil war . He then executed Perpenna and all of the men who had murdered Sertorius . Naming . The names Perperna and Perpenna are attested for this nomen gentile ( of Etruscan origin ) , but Perperna is more frequent and the form used in the most reliable inscriptions , followed by the prosopographical scholarship ( e . g . Broughton ) .
Doncourt - lès - Conflans Airport Doncourt - lès - Conflans Airport is a regional airport in France , located south - southwest of Homécourt ( Departement de Meurthe - et - Moselle , Lorraine ) ; east of Paris It supports general aviation with no commercial airline service scheduled . History . Doncourt - lès - Conflans Airport ' s origins begin in September 1944 when the airfield was built by the United States Army Air Forces IX Engineer Command 830th Engineering Aviation Regiment . Allied ground forces had moved though the area during the Northern France Campaign in early September , and on ` 9 September the combat engineers arrived to lay down a temporary airfield to support the ground forces in their advance against enemy forces . The 830th EAR laid down a 5000 ' grass runway aligned roughly east - west ( 08 / 26 ) , along with a small support area . The airfield was declared operationally ready on 20 September and was designated as Advanced Landing Ground " A - 94 " , or simply " Conflans Airfield " . The airfield was initially used by various transport units for combat resupply of units and for casualty evacuation . In late October , the 830th Engineering Aviation Regiment returned to the airfield and improved the facility , laying down an all - weather Pierced Steel Planking ( PSP ) runway for Ninth Air Force combat fighter use along with upgrading the support site with tents for billeting and also for support facilities ; an access road was built to the existing road infrastructure ; a dump for supplies , ammunition , and gasoline drums , along with a drinkable water and minimal electrical grid for communications and station lighting . With the upgraded facility , combat units arrived at Conflans . The first was the 10th Reconnaissance Group , which based various photo - reconnaissance aircraft at the field from 20 November 1944 until March 1945 . In mid - March , the 10th moved out and was replaced by the 367th Fighter Group , which flew P - 38 Lightning s until 20 April 1945 ( P - 38 ) . By the end of April the airfield had become redundant combat needs and the facility was returned to being a S & E ( Supply and Evacuation ) airfield , and was used until being closed on 22 May 1945 . The wartime airfield was then turned over to French authorities . See also . Current . After the war , the wartime faculties were eventually all removed . The metal PSP runway was picked up being replaced by a turf runway , along with taxiways and a turf parking ramp . Doncourt - lès - Conflans Airport today is a modern , well - equipped general aviation airport . No evidence of the wartime airfield remains .
