Battle of Varaville The Battle of Varaville was a battle fought in 1057 by William , Duke of Normandy , against King Henry I of France and Count Geoffrey Martel of Anjou . In August 1057 , King Henry and Count Geoffrey invaded Normandy on a campaign that was aimed at Bayeux and Caen . The size of their army and its composition are unknown . They first arrived in the Hiemois region of Normandy and began raiding and pillaging towards the two towns . Duke William , who appears to have been reluctant to oppose his overlord directly , gathered a large army at Falaise but took no other action besides keeping scouts out to report the invading force ' s movements . When the invaders reached a ford on the estuary of the Dives River near Varaville , they began to cross but when the tide came in , the process had only been half completed , leaving the army split in two . William seized the opportunity and attacked the half of the invading army that had not yet crossed . Later reports by chroniclers made the battle into a massacre , but contemporary writers barely noticed it . Modern historians have praised William ' s generalship during the battle , with David Bates noting the battle as an example of William ' s habit of surprising his enemies with unexpected moves . The main effect was that the invaders retreated quickly from Normandy . The battle also marked the end of the last invasion of Normandy during Duke William ' s lifetime . After the retreat of Henry and Geoffrey , William was able to extend his influence outside his Norman lands , increasing his power in Maine in the years 1057 through 1060 . Other results included Bishop Ivo of Sees switching from an Angevin to a Norman alliance . In the next year , 1058 , William invaded King Henry ' s lands and recaptured the castle at Tillières , which had been lost to the Normans during William ' s minority .
. mil The domain name mil is the sponsored top - level domain ( sTLD ) in the Domain Name System of the Internet for the United States Department of Defense and its subsidiary or affiliated organizations . The name is derived from " military " . It was one of the first top - level domains , created in January 1985 . The United States is the only country that has a top - level domain for its military , a legacy of the United States ' military role in the creation of the Internet . Other countries often use second - level domains for this purpose , e . g . , mod . uk for the United Kingdom ' s Ministry of Defence . Canada uses " norad . mil " with the United States as they jointly operate the North American Aerospace Defense Command . Although the United States military has its own top - level domain , it still uses com domains for some of its recruitment sites , such as " goarmy . com " , as well as for the Defense Commissary Agency ' s public website and most non - appropriated fund instrumentalities such as military MWR organizations and military exchanges . Also , the military uses edu domains for its service academies : the United States Military Academy , United States Coast Guard Academy , United States Naval Academy , and the United States Air Force Academy can all be reached using either an edu or a mil domain . The official athletic program sites of the three academies that are members of NCAA Division I ( Army , Navy , Air Force ) use com domains . The Department of Defense itself uses gov for its home page , with at least three second - level domains within mil ( " defense " , " dod " , and " pentagon " ) redirecting to its home page of " defense . gov " . The Department of Defense is also using vanity domain names within mil , such as ourmilitary . mil and norad . mil . The United States Coast Guard uses the mil domain , despite the service being controlled by the United States Department of Homeland Security during statutory peacetime .

Design and development . The Romanian aircraft designer Henri Coandă joined the Bristol in January 1912 . His first design for Bristol was a two - seat monoplane trainer , a development of the Bristol Prier Monoplane , controlled by wing warping . The first prototype flew in March 1912 . A series of similar aircraft followed with both tandem and side - by - side cockpits , known as the School Monoplane and the Side by Side Monoplane . A more powerful derivative was built for a competition to provide aircraft for the British War Office . Two aircraft , known as Competition Monoplanes were built and entered into the competition , together with two Bristol Gordon England biplanes . The aircraft were flown by Harry Busteed , Bristols test pilot and James Valentine . These did well in the competition , rated equal fifth and described at the time as " well - designed and well - constructed " though criticised as " heavy for the wing area " and lacking in power . This resulted in their being purchased by the War Office for use as trainers by the Royal Flying Corps . These two aircraft formed the basis for a revised military trainer , the Military Monoplane , which had increased wingspan . The Military Monoplane later formed the basis for the Bristol TB . 8 , several being rebuilt into TB8s . Operational history . The first School and Side by Side monoplanes entered service with flying schools operated by Bristol at Larkhill and Brooklands . One tandem and two side - by - side machines were sold to Italy , with four tandem and three side - by - side aircraft being sold to Romania . The two Competition Monoplanes were purchased by the War Office after the Military Aircraft Competition , being used as trainers for the RFC . However , on 10 September 1912 , one of the Competition Monoplanes crashed , killing Lts . E . Hotchkiss and C . A . Bettington . While this was traced to one of the bracing wires becoming detached , it resulted in a five month ban of flying of all monoplanes by the military wing of the RFC . Despite this ban , Military Monoplanes were purchased by Romania and Italy , with a production license being granted to Caproni ( although this license was later cancelled , only two being built by Caproni ) . Aircraft on display . A single Bristol Coanda Monoplane survives , in the Gianni Caproni Museum of Aeronautics , Trento , Italy , being the oldest surviving Bristol aircraft still in existence .
