Westland Dreadnought The Westland Dreadnought was an experimental single - engined fixed - wing monoplane design for a mail plane created to trial the aerodynamic wing and fuselage design ideas of Woyevodsky . It was designed and built by British aircraft manufacturer Westland Aircraft for the Air Ministry . Only a single aircraft was ever built , and it crashed on its initial flight , badly injuring the test pilot . Design and development . The Dreadnought was distinct for its futuristic design and method of construction , based on the theories of the Russian inventor M . Woyevodsky . After preliminary tests of the idea were tried in a wind tunnel and met with some degree of success , the design was given to Westland Aircraft to construct an aircraft . The design at the time was for a 70 ft wingspan twin - engine aircraft . The design was aerodynamically advanced , featuring a continuous aerofoil section over all parts of the aircraft , including the fuselage and , unusually for British aircraft at that time , had no form of wing bracing . Construction was all - metal , comprising drawn channeling with a skin of corrugated sheet panels . The method may be compared to the modern stressed skin construction . Another advanced feature was the fail - safe ejection system . Although conceived as a twin - engined type with retractable undercarriage , the design that emerged was fitted with a single 450 horsepower Napier Lion II 12 cylinder engine that allowed the Dreadnought speeds of up to 102 miles per hour . and fixed undercarriage . Operational history . On completion of the Dreadnought , pilot Arthur Stewart Keep carried out taxi trials and short airborne hops . On 9 May 1924 , he took off for its first flight test . While the aircraft was initially stable , it soon became clear that Keep was losing control , and not long after , at a height of approximately one hundred feet , the Dreadnought stalled and crashed . Thrown from the aircraft , Keep sustained severe injuries , and later had both legs amputated . He remained with the company and did not retire until 1935 . After this failure , the Dreadnought design was abandoned , although the ideas that were conceived and used in its making were visibly an advancement in aircraft and are appreciated as such in the present day .

Shatoy ambush The Shatoy ambush ( known in Russia as the Battle of Yaryshmardy ) was an April 16 , 1996 , attack by forces of the Arab - born commander Ibn al - Khattab near the town of Shatoy in the southern mountains of Chechnya , during the First Chechen War . Battle . The attack wrecked the column of the Russia n 2nd Battalion from the 245th Motor Rifle Regiment ( MRR ) and killed 53 servicemen and injured 52 , according to the official Russian figures . The first reports by the officials spoke of only 26 killed and 51 wounded . According to the other sources , more than 70 to almost 100 to even 223 soldiers of the 245th MRR died in the ambush . A few civilians who were traveling with the convoy were also reportedly killed . According to the second - hand account by the Polish volunteer Mirosław Kuleba ( aka Władysław Wilk / Mehmed Borz ) , Khattab ' s detachment of 43 men chose a " perfect ambush spot " with a ravine and a stream on one side and a forested slope on the other side of a serpentine mountain road : the rebels first let the Russian recon squad through and then detonated an IED under the leading tank ; simultaneously , a volley of RPG s hit the unit ' s command vehicle , killing the Russian commander instantly , and the APC at the end the column - after this , the Chechens opened fire on the rest of the Russian unit . Kuleba wrote that the three - hour attack burned 27 armoured vehicles and trucks in the convoy and just 12 out of 199 Russian soldiers survived " the slaughter " , while the rebel losses were only three killed and six wounded . According to the Russian book " Chechenskiy Kapkan " , up to 100 fighters ambushed the column of 30 Russian armoured vehicles , almost 100 soldiers were killed and " only eight escaped with their lives " . According to the U . S . book " The Wolves of Islam " , the destroyed convoy numbered 50 vehicles ( trucks , fuel tankers , APCs and a mine - clearing T - 80 tank ) and by Khattab ' s own count more than 200 soldiers were killed . Aftermath . A video of the ambush and its aftermath , widely distributed and celebrated in Chechnya , featured Khattab " walking triumphantly down a line of blackened Russian corpses " , and gained him the early fame in Chechnya and a great notoriety in Russia . The images of carnage also caused a new calls for the Russia ' s defence minister Pavel Grachev to resign , while Russia suspended its limited troop withdrawal .
CASA C - 201 Alcotán The CASA C - 201 Alcotán ( " Kestrel " ) was a 1950s transport aircraft , built by CASA for the Spanish Air Force . Design and development . The C - 201 was the result of an agreement between the Spanish government and manufacturer Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA ( CASA ) , to develop a transport aircraft for the air force capable of carrying a payload of one tonne over a range of . The design was a twin - engine low - wing cantilever monoplane of conventional configuration . The main units of the tailwheel undercarriage retracted into the engine nacelles . Operational history . Two prototypes were constructed , and the first of those first flew on 11 February 1949 . An order for twelve pre - production aircraft and one hundred series aircraft was then placed . The pre - production machines were planned to demonstrate a range of different equipment fits for the airframe , enabling it for a variety of roles including personnel transport , training for bombing and photo - reconnaissance work , and instrument flying training . A number of engines were also to be evaluated , including the Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah that had powered the prototypes , the Pratt & Whitney R - 1340 , and the locally - produced ENMASA Sirio . The Alcotán project stalled , due to problems in the supply of powerplants and propellers . Spain ' s domestic engine industry was not capable of producing powerplants in sufficient quantity for the project , and Spain was unable to afford to import foreign engines . The production run had been scheduled to be completed before 1955 , but the shortage of engines meant that by 1956 , only eleven complete aircraft had been finished and delivered . In 1962 , the project was finally cancelled , without the engine problem ever having been resolved . By then , CASA had 96 complete airframes in storage awaiting powerplants . Those were scrapped , and the Spanish government compensated the manufacturer for the debacle .
Battle of Little Dry Creek The Battle of Little Dry Creek was a skirmish during Geronimo ' s War . Chiricahua Apache warrior s were raiding in the Arizona and New Mexico border area when they ambushed a larger force of United States Army troops and Navajo Scouts near Pleasanton . Battle . It was the day of December 19 , 1885 and First Lieutenant Samuel W . Fountain was in command of nineteen men of the 8th Cavalry and ten Navajos in between Big Dry Creek and Little Dry Creek . The group was searching for the Apache leader Josanie in the Mogollon Mountains who , with his band , was responsible for the deaths of six scouts and civilians . Two groups of Apaches , less than thirty in total , rendezvoused in the Florida Mountains in November but by the time Fountain found them there were only nine warriors with Josanie . While returning to Fort Bayard for supplies , the Americans and Navajos had just reached the top of a hill next to Little Dry Creek when suddenly rifle fire came pouring in from a ridge on the far side of the road . The cavalry quickly dismounted and proceeded forward on foot but as they were crossing the road , Apache fire hit and killed a private named Wishart , said to be the strongest of the party . Additional shots hit and killed another private named Gibson and a corporal was wounded . The cavalry ' s advance was stopped and when Lieutenant Fountain turned around to order his scouts into battle , they were gone . Fountain assmued they had deserted until they reappeared and drove the Apaches from the ridge , but , by that time army surgeon Thomas J . C . Maddox was hit and wounded before receiving a second round in the head which killed him . Lieutenant Rosey C . Cabell was slightly wounded as well along with a blacksmith named Collins who died sometime the following day . The Apaches retreated to the west without loss ; the Americans and Navajo were in control of the field but the Apaches had successfully ambushed a superior force without losses on their own side and they escaped without being pursued .
Assam Valley Light Horse The Assam Valley Light Horse regiment was raised in 1891 and formed part of the Cavalry Reserve in the British Indian Army .

Salton Sea Naval Auxiliary Air Station Salton Sea Naval Auxiliary Air Station , was a United States Navy military facility located in Salton Sea Beach , California . History . It was an auxiliary field to NAS San Diego commissioned in 1942 , had a barracks for over 600 men constructed there . It was disestablished in 1946 . NAF El Centro then took over the facility using it for parachute tests of the manned space program and other military systems until 1979 . There remains little if anything of the former field . The Salton Sea has taken over much of the runway . In 2001 the United States Bureau of Reclamation used the site to remove salt from the Salton Sea , as high salinity is a major problem facing the inland lake . They used modified snowmaking equipment and mine waste removal vehicles and continued testing for a year ; however high energy costs and air quality issues forced the termination of this project .
