Bell H - 12 The Bell R - 12 ( Model 48 ) , re - designated as the Bell H - 12 , was an American 1940s military utility helicopter built by Bell Helicopter company . Design and development . During 1946 , Bell Helicopter began development of a new utility helicopter , the Model 42 , much larger than the Model 47 , utilized a scaled - up version of the Model 47 ' s rotor system . Three prototypes were built but serious rotor problems and complexity of mechanical systems precluded production . The initial Model 42 variant was civilian , but the United States Air Force ordered the development of its military variant , the Model 48 , of which , two prototypes were ordered as the XR - 12 , powered by a single Pratt & Whitney R - 1340 - AN - 1 radial engine and featuring seating for five . Of very similar construction to the Model 42 the Model 48 had a shorter rotor mast . A production batch of 34 helicopters was ordered , under the designation R - 12A , but cancelled in 1947 . Another enlarged prototype ( the XR - 12B , Model 48A ) with seats for eight plus two pilots and a more powerful Pratt & Whitney R - 1340 - 55 engine was also ordered , followed by 10 pre - series YR - 12B helicopters , with a glazed nose , instead of the car - like nose of the Model 42 and XR - 12 . Whilst under flight test the helicopter was re - designated the H - 12 , but the results were not satisfactory , there were major problems with the main rotor due to blade weaving and poor rotor governor performance . Operational history . No production H - 12 aircraft were built but the prototypes and pre - production aircraft were used for various test and development programs .

National Defense Medical College The is Japan ' s six - year university - level military academy under control of the Ministry of Defense whose objectives are to train future military officers who are also medical doctors and current military doctors . Students graduate with an advanced level of theory and application of medical sciences required to conduct the missions of the Japan Self - Defense Forces and acquisition of research capability of the related fields as well as to offer training of clinical medicine . It is headquartered in Tokorozawa , Saitama , and has annexed a College Hospital , a Research Institute and a Nursing School , but no dental school . Its students are typically selected from recent graduates of Japanese civilian senior high schools who have completed twelve years of formal schooling . Like the National Defense Academy of Japan ( NDA ) students , they are paid salary and a semiannual bonus as employees of the Ministry of Defense . After graduation the graduates are posted to an Officer Candidate Training School in one of the three forces . They then take the national medical doctor examination . After passing the examination they take a two - year internship and are posted to Self - Defense Force hospitals and the battalion s . If a graduate quits the force before nine years of service they are required to refund their training cost to the national government . This is different from the NDA . The National Institution for Academic Degrees and University Evaluation , an independent administrative institution affiliated with the Ministry of Education , Culture , Sports , Science and Technology ( MEXT ) has accredited the mainstream courses and offers the degrees to the graduates . As the College is not a MEXT - accredited university it cannot offer its own degrees .
Breguet Bre . 5 The Breguet Bre . 5 and its derivatives the Bre . 6 and Bre . 12 were French escort fighter biplanes of World War I . Design and development . This family was a development and refinement of the escort fighter concept that Breguet had designed to be produced by Michelin as the BUC . Initially intended to carry the same 37 mm ( 1 . 46 in ) Hotchkiss cannon that armed the BUC , the Bre . 5 was revised , at the request of the French Army , to carry a 7 . 7 mm ( . 303 in ) Lewis Gun fired rearward from atop the biplane ' s upper wing . Operational history . A small number of cannon - armed machines were produced from April 1916 onwards and allocated to bomber units . The British Royal Naval Air Service ( RNAS ) operated 35 of these aircraft , 10 purchased from Breguet , and 25 built in the UK by Grahame - White as the G . W . 19 . The Bre . 6 was an essentially identical machine powered by a Canton - Unné engine , developed in response to fears that production of the Bre . 5 ' s Renault engine may have been unable to keep up with demand . It was produced both as an escort fighter and as a bomber . As the Bre . 5 reached obsolescence , a number were remanufactured as Bre . 12 night fighter s and night bombers . The fighter variants carried the 37 mm ( 1 . 46 in ) cannon and was equipped with a searchlight .

Condon Air Force Station Condon Air Force Station is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station . It is located west of Condon , Oregon . It was closed in 1970 . History . Condon AFS was one of twenty - eight stations built as part of the second segment of the Air Defense Command permanent radar network . Prompted by the start of the Korean War , on July 11 , 1950 , the Secretary of the Air Force asked the Secretary of Defense for approval to expedite construction of the permanent network . Receiving the Defense Secretary ’ s approval on July 21 , the Air Force directed the Corps of Engineers to proceed with construction . The 636th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron was assigned to the station on 15 August 1951 , and initially the station functioned as a Ground - Control Intercept ( GCI ) and warning station . As a GCI station , the squadron ' s role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit ' s radar scopes .
