Type 1 Ho - Ha The was an armored half - track armoured personnel carrier ( APC ) used in limited numbers by the Imperial Japanese Army ( IJA ) during World War II . Development and history . The Type 1 Ho - Ha was developed in 1941 as a result of a request from the Army for a vehicle that could be used to transport a squad of infantry to the battlefield protected from enemy small arms fire . Despite experiences of the Second Sino - Japanese War , armored personnel carriers were viewed as too slow compared to wheeled trucks and there was not much effort for their development in the army . Production began in 1944 , Type 1 " Ho - Ha " being an addition to the existing Type 1 Ho - Ki , an unrelated , yet similarly named design . The half - tracked Type 1 Ho - Ha was built by Hino Motors in unknown quantities . Design . The Type 1 Ho - Ha was based upon the German Sd . Kfz . 251 / 1 ( known popularly as " Hanomag " ) , the main armoured personnel carrier of the German Army , but did not use the overlapped and interleaved road wheels of the German design ' s suspension . The Type 1 Ho - Ha had a pair of road wheels in front supported by a pair of short caterpillar track s to the rear . As with the previous Type 1 " Ho - Ki " , a towing hitch to haul artillery was provided at the rear . Maximum armor thickness was about 8 mm but the top was open . The Type 1 Ho - Ha carried three Type 97 light machine gun s as standard armament , one on each side , just to the rear of the driver ' s compartment and a third mounted to the rear as an anti - aircraft weapon . All of these weapons had constricted firing arcs , which made firing directly forward or directly rearward impossible . Combat record . Initial deployment of the Type 1 Ho - Ha was China for operations in the ongoing Second Sino - Japanese War , but were never in any great numbers . The Type 1 Ho - Ha was later deployed with Japanese reinforcements in the Battle of the Philippines in 1944 .

Rainbow Herbicides The Rainbow Herbicides are a group of chemicals used by the United States military in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War . Success with Project AGILE field tests with herbicides in South Vietnam in 1961 led to the formal herbicidal program Trail Dust ( 1961 – 71 ) . Herbicidal warfare is a form of chemical warfare , in which the objective is destroying the plant - based ecosystem of an agricultural food production and / or destroying foliage which provides the enemy cover . The Agents used in southeast Asia , their active ingredients and years used were as follow : In Vietnam , the early large - scale defoliation missions ( 1962 - 1964 ) used 8 , 208 gallons of Agent Green , 122 , 792 gallons of Pink , and 145 , 000 of Purple . These were dwarfed by the 11 , 712 , 860 gallons of Orange ( both versions ) used from 1965 to 1970 . Agent White started to replace Orange in 1966 ; 5 , 239 , 853 gallons of White were used . The only agent used on a large scale in an anti - crop role was Blue , with 2 , 166 , 656 gallons used . In addition to testing and using the herbicides in Vietnam , Laos and Cambodia , the US military also tested the " Rainbow Herbicides " and many other chemical defoliants and herbicides in the US , Canada , Puerto Rico , Korea , India , and Thailand from the mid - 1940s to the late 1960s . Herbicide persistence studies of Agents Orange and White were conducted in the Philippines . The Philippine herbicide test program which was conducted in cooperation with the University of the Philippines , College of Forestry and was also described in a 1969 issue of The Philippine Collegian , the college ' s newspaper . Super or enhanced Agent Orange was tested by representatives from Fort Detrick and Dow chemical in Texas , Puerto Rico , and Hawaii and later in Malaysia in a cooperative project with the International Rubber Research Institute . Picloram in Agent White and Super - Orange was contaminated by Hexachlorobenzene ( HCB ) a dioxin - like carcinogen .
902d Troop Carrier Group The 902d Troop Carrier Group is an inactive United States Air Force Reserve unit . It was last active with the 94th Troop Carrier Wing , based at Grenier Air Force Base , Massachusetts . It was inactivated on 25 January 1966 . History . Following the mobilizations in 1961 and 1962 for the Berlin Crisis and the Cuban Missile Crisis , Continental Air Command ( ConAC ) realized that it was unwieldy to mobilize an entire wing unless absolutely necessary . Their original Table of Organization for each Wing was a wing headquarters , a troop carrier group , an Air Base Group , a maintenance and supply group , and a medical group . In 1957 , the troop carrier group and maintenance and supply groups were inactivated , with their squadrons reassigned directly to the wing headquarters - despite the fact that many wings had squadrons spread out over several bases due to the Detached Squadron Concept dispersing Reserve units over centers of population . To resolve this , in late 1962 and early 1963 , ConAC reorganized the structure of its reserve Troop Carrier Wings by establishing fully deployable Troop Carrier Groups and inserting them into the chain of command between the Wing and its squadrons at every base that held a ConAC troop carrier squadron . At each base , the group was composed of a material squadron , a troop carrier squadron , a tactical hospital or dispensary , and a combat support squadron . Each troop carrier wing consisted of 3 or 4 of these groups . By doing so , ConAC could facilitate the mobilization of either aircraft and aircrews alone , aircraft and minimum support personnel ( one troop carrier group ) , or the entire troop carrier wing . This also gave ConAC the flexibility to expand each Wing by attaching additional squadrons , if necessary from other Reserve wings to the deployable groups for deployments . As a result , the 902d Troop Carrier Group was established with a mission to organize , recruit and train Air Force Reserve personnel in the tactical airlift of airborne forces , their equipment and supplies and delivery of these forces and materials by airdrop , landing or cargo extraction systems . The group was equipped with C - 119 Flying Boxcar s for Tactical Air Command airlift operations . The 902d TCG was one of two C - 119 Flying Boxcar groups assigned to the 94th TCW in 1963 , the other being the 901st Troop Carrier Group at Hanscom Field , Massachusetts . Inactivated in January 1966 with the closure of Grenier Air Force Base .

Rupertinoe The Rupertinoe was an advanced naval gun designed by , and named after , Prince Rupert of the Rhine in the 17th century . Details . Naval warfare in the Restoration period placed an emphasis on naval firepower ; as one writer has put it , warships had evolved into " floating artillery emplacements " . The Rupertinoe gun was a response to this challenge . Designed by Prince Rupert , an experienced naval commander and senior admiral of the Royal Navy , the gun was intended for use against the Dutch during the Anglo - Dutch Wars . The Rupertinoe was a high specification , annealed and lathe produced gun made at Rupert ' s foundry at Windsor Castle reflecting Rupert ' s scientific interests in metallurgy — he was the third founding member of the Royal Society . Unfortunately the high cost of the gun — three times the price of a regular weapon — meant that by the Third Anglo - Dutch War ( 1672 - 4 ) only three ships had been equipped with it : the " Royal Charles " , the " Royal James " and the " Royal Oak " . The cost of the gun led to a fraud investigation by the Naval Commissioner Samuel Pepys , although no evidence to support the claim was discovered .

French frigate Flore ( 1806 ) The Flore was a 44 - gun " Armide " class frigate of the French Navy . In 1808 , she was part of Ganteaume ' s squadron that cruised in the Mediterranean . On 12 March 1811 , she was part of Bernard Dubourdieu ' s squadron sailing to raid the British commerce raider base of the island of Lissa . The squadron encountered William Hoste ' s frigate squadron , leading to the Battle of Lissa . In the ensuing fight , " Flore " was distanced by her flagship " Favorite " , which engaged the British flagship HMS " Amphion " , and ran aground . " Flore " and " Bellona " caught on and engaged " Amphion " in a crossfire . " Amphion " outmanoeuvered " Flore " and raked her for ten minutes , after which " Flore " struck her colours . The battle still raging , the British failed to send a capture crew aboard , and " Flore " eventually joined the surviving " Carolina " and " Danaé " and fleeing to Ragusa . " Flore " was wrecked in a tempest off Chioggia on 30 November 1811 , with the loss of 75 . Her commanding officer , Frigate Captain Lissilour , was acquitted by the court martial . A 1 / 48 shipyard model of the " Flore " , originally part of the " Trianon collection " , is on display at the Musée national de la Marine in Paris .
DN - 1 ( airship ) The DN - 1 was the US Navy ' s first airship . The contract was awarded on 1 June 1915 to the Connecticut Aircraft Company of New Haven , CT . The DN - 1 was roughly based on the German Parseval type of non - rigid airship . The envelope was made of two layers of cloth , with rubber between them as well as on the inside and outside . The gondola control car , built by George Lawley & Son of Dorchester , Massachusetts , was a large rectangular box with two four - bladed propellers on outriggers . The two engines , built by the B F Sturtevant Company of Hyde Park , MA , were mounted in the open gondola , and the propellers could be swiveled to provide thrust in either the horizontal or vertical planes . The gondola was water - tight as the Navy intended to operate the DN - 1 off water . The DN - 1 was shipped to Pensacola , Florida in late 1916 and assembled in a floating hangar constructed for it . The day of the planned first flight , the DN - 1 was removed from its hangar , only to lose lift and sink . The DN - 1 was returned to its hangar and lightened . When the test program began on 20 April 1917 the DN - 1 was a disappointment . DN - 1 lacked lift , barely met the speed requirement of , and the transmission bearings melted . It was 27 April before the airship flew again . Two days later the handling party which was trying to tow the airship across the water damaged it and the DN - 1 was subsequently scrapped . The design was retrospectively dubbed the A class by the Navy , although this designation was never applied during DN - 1 ' s short life .

William Forst House The William Forst House , also known as the Clark House and the First - Clark House , is a historic house located in the Russellville Historic District of Russellville , Kentucky . Built in 1820 , it made history between November 18 and 20 , 1861 , as the site where the Confederate government of Kentucky was formed . It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 19 , 1973 . Description . The House is a two - story , five - bay , Federal style building made of brick . It presently has ten interior rooms . When first built , there were only five rooms and a hall . These were three rooms and hall on the first floor , and on the second floor a ballroom and another room . As there were still fears of Indian attacks when the structure was built , there are no windows on the side of the building . The property has seen various changes over the years . In 1890 the interior staircase was replaced . The original kitchen , servant ' s quarters , and white - column front porch are long gone . A double - brick stairplace takes the place of the porch . In 1964 additions were added for the continued use of the Clark family . History . The structure was built in 1820 by William First , later having his name altered to Forst , an immigrant from England believed to be a cabinetmaker . He built the home to show his expertise in millwork and mantels . In November 1861 , the Confederate Sovereignty Committee met at the house . Its 116 delegates from 65 Kentucky counties voted to secede from the Union , although the state capital at Frankfort , Kentucky was still in existence and chose to stay in the Union . Before leaving the home , George W . Johnson was elected by the delegates as the Confederate governor of Kentucky . From 1922 to 1942 it was used as a funeral home , under the ownership of Wister C . Clark . His widow turned the ballroom into apartments in 1960 , and the bottom floor used as a law office for her son and his law partner .
