Fairey Fawn The Fairey Fawn was a British single - engine light bomber of the 1920s . It was designed as a replacement for the Airco DH . 9A and served with the Royal Air Force between 1924 and 1929 . Development . The Fairey Fawn was designed by F Duncanson of Fairey Aviation as a replacement for the Airco DH . 9A in the light day bomber role , to meet the requirements of Specification 5 / 21 for an aircraft for reconnaissance and army co - operation duties . It was a development of the Fairey Pintail floatplane , powered by a Napier Lion engine . The first of three prototypes flew on 8 March 1923 . The second and third prototypes were fitted with lengthened fuselages to improve stability , and this was adapted for the production version . The Fawn was fitted with fuel tanks above the top wing in order to meet Air Ministry safety requirements . These tanks posed a hazard to the pilots if the aircraft overturned on landing . A revised specification 20 / 23 was issued which added the bomber role , two prototypes and 48 production Fawn Mk II aircraft were ordered against the new specification in August 1923 to re - equip the home based DH . 9A squadrons of the RAF , although the first two production aircraft were completed as short fuselage Fawn Mk Is and the remainder of this order being full production long fuselage Fawn Mk IIs . The Fawn Mk III was fitted with a more powerful 468 hp ( 350 kW ) Lion V engines , while the Fawn Mk IV was fitted with a supercharged Lion VI engine . Operational history . The Fawn entered service with 12 Squadron in March 1924 , equipping two further regular squadrons , 11 Squadron and 100 Squadron . Despite the fact that the Fawn was originally intended to replace all the home - based DH . 9A squadrons , four more squadrons continued to be equipped with the DH . 9A for several more years before being replaced by other types . The Fawn was not a popular aircraft in RAF service , having little better performance than the aircraft it replaced , and having a poor view for the pilot owing to the bulky Lion engine . The Fawn was replaced in these three regular squadrons in 1926 , being replaced by the Hawker Horsley and the Fairey Fox . The aircraft freed up were used two equip two Special Reserve and Auxiliary Air Force squadrons , these remaining in service until 1929 .

Free City of Danzig ( Napoleonic ) The Free City of Danzig , sometimes referred to as the Republic of Danzig , was a semi - independent city state established by Napoleon on 9 September 1807 , during the time of the Napoleonic Wars following the capture of the city in the Siege of Danzig in May . After the Congress of Vienna of 1814 / 5 , Danzig was re - incorporated into the Kingdom of Prussia . History . Prussia had acquired the City of Danzig in the course of the Second Partition of Poland in 1793 . After the defeat of King Frederick William III of Prussia at the 1806 Battle of Jena - Auerstedt , according to the Franco - Prussian Treaty of Tilsit of 9 July 1807 , the territory of the free state was carved out from lands that made up part of the West Prussia province . It consisted of the city of Danzig ( present - day Gdańsk , Poland ) along with its rural surroundings on the mouth of Vistula including Oliva , together with the Hel Peninsula and its lighthouse as well as the southern half of the Vistula Spit up to Narmeln ( Polski ) . The Republic was officially proclaimed on 21 July 1807 , after the French troops had handed over the city on May 27 . Prussia and the Kingdom of Saxony under Frederick Augustus I , also Duke of Warsaw , were appointed guarantee powers . Marshal François Joseph Lefebvre , commander of the Danzig siege , received the honorific title of a " Duc de Danzig " from the hands of Napoleon , however , the actual ruler of the city was the French governor General Jean Rapp . The citizens had to accommodate Napoleon ' s Grande Armée forces and to pay large tributes in the preparation of the French invasion of Russia in 1812 . After the French retreat , the Imperial Russian forces laid siege to the city from late January to 29 November 1813 , and the remaining c . 40 , 000 French soldiers finally withdrew on 2 January 1814 . Although the Prussian authorities made it the capital of West Prussia and the administrative centre of the Regierungsbezirk Danzig , the autonomy of the city was significantly reduced .
