Amédée Gordini Amédée Gordini ( June 23 , 1899 – May 25 , 1979 ) was an Italian - born race car driver and sports car manufacturer in France . Gordini was born in Bazzano , Province of Bologna in the Emilia - Romagna region of northern Italy . He was a young boy when he became fascinated with automobiles and racing . In his early teens , he worked as a mechanic for Alfieri Maserati . After serving in the Italian army during World War I , in 1926 he settled in Paris , France and raced cars for Fiat in Grand Prix motor racing events and at the 24 hours of Le Mans . In the 1930s he joined with Simca to improve their engines and eventually founded the Gordini company to build a line of sports cars for racing . In the 1940s , his son Aldo joined his racing team as a mechanic and occasional driver . The cars that Amédée Gordini sent to the race track in Le Mans were very fast . Gordini , France ’ s legendary engine tuner , also called the “ sorcerer ” , breathed Grand Prix performance into regular engines - a feat no one believed possible . The Musée National de l ' Automobile de Mulhouse in Mulhouse , France featuring the Schlumpf Collection has in its collection Grand Prix and road racing cars of the Gordini brand . Exhibits include a type 16 Grand Prix from 1954 , a single seater type 32 from 1956 and the Gordini 26 S , the car driven by the famous French author Françoise Sagan . After World War II , obtaining financial support for racing became increasingly difficult and Gordini ' s long relationship with Simca ended in 1956 . However , the Renault car company engaged him and Gordini notably developed the Renault Caravelle , Renault 5 Alpine Turbo , Renault 8 , Renault 12 and the Renault 17 amongst others . In 1953 the government of France awarded Amédée Gordini the Legion of Honor . In Brazil , technical changes in the Brazilian version of Renault Dauphine , manufactured by Willys - Overland do Brasil , made the company to rename this car model in 1962 , releasing it as the popular nickname Gordini , in tribute to Amédée and his important work . Amédée Gordini died in 1979 in Paris and was buried in the Montmartre Cemetery .
Mortaio da 210 / 8 D . S . The Mortaio da 210 / 8 D . S . was a siege howitzer which served with Italy during World War I and World War II . It was an old - fashioned weapon when introduced around 1900 . It was mounted on a timber firing platform and lacked a recoil system of any kind . It was mounted on a De Stefano carriage which attempted to handle the weapon ' s recoil by mounting the weapon on a series of inclined ramps . The barrel and cradle had their own inclined ramp as did the carriage . When the weapon fired the cradle would move up the inclined ramp while the carriage would also recoil up an a set of inclined rails . Gravity and springs would return the howitzer to its firing position . Despite the name the weapon was not a mortar , but rather a short - barreled howitzer ( a Mörser in German terms ) . Some of these were still in service during World War II , but played little part in the war , never leaving Italy .

It is used a training facility by the United States Marines of Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River . History . In late December 1940 , Camp Davis was built by the United States Army as an antiaircraft artillery training facility . Manned by about 20 , 000 officers and men , Camp Davis was attached to the First Army , Fourth Corps Area . It was an expansive facility consisting of more than 3 , 000 buildings on with access provided by newly built railroad spurs leading into the camp . Between 1942 – 43 , two paved runways were built for Camp Davis Army Air Field ( AAF ) . Part of the runway for the airfield was built through one of the old Civil War fort ' s walls . Camp Davis AAF ' s Runway 5 / 23 was wider , and was intended for use by transports , while Runway 19 / 01 was narrower and intended for use by single - engine aircraft . Most of the aircraft operated from Camp Davis runways were single - engine aircraft used to tow targets for the anti - aircraft artillery units . In 1944 the anti - aircraft training facility was transferred to Fort Bliss , and on 17 February 1946 , Camp Davis was closed . Circa 1 June 1946 , a portion of the Camp Davis area formerly used by the Army as the Coastal Artillery Anti - Aircraft Firing Range ( present - day Surf City , North Carolina ) was transferred to the United States Navy . The Navy temporarily used the site for the development and testing of early surface - to - air missiles under the name Operation Bumblebee until 28 July 1948 . Camp Davis was declared surplus and was dismantled for salvage and sale . At that time , the Navy apparently gave up the leases on the land and it was returned to the original landowners . In 1954 , the Marine Corps took out a new lease for approximately on the former Camp Davis airfields & surrounding land from International Paper Company . In recent years , the Marine Corps has used Camp Davis as a Marine Corps Outlying Landing Field ( MCOLF ) for helicopter units based at nearby Marine Corps Air Station New River . Runway 18 / 36 was resurfaced with concrete in 1997 , possibly for use by V - 22 Osprey s . Facilities . MCOLF Camp Davis has two runways which are designated 5 / 23 and 18 / 36 . Both runways have concrete surfaces measuring 5000 by 150 feet . The older runway 5 / 23 is not currently in use , while newer runway 18 / 36 is using for helicopter assault landing exercises .

9 cm Minenwerfer M 14 The 9 cm Minenwerfer M 14 ( Trench mortar ) was a light mortar used by Austria - Hungary in World War I . It was designed by the Army ' s own " Technisches und Administratives Militär - Komitee " ( TMK ) in an effort to quickly satisfy the demand from the front for a light mortar . It had a number of issues with its ammunition , namely the black powder used as a propellant gave off copious smoke clouds on firing that revealed the tube ' s location and the mortar bomb fuzes had a high rate of failure . The breech - loading mortar tube was mounted on a framework that didn ' t allow for any traverse , which meant that it was impossible to engage different targets without relaying the mortar . In turn the frame was mounted a rectangular firing platform . The M 14 / 16 had a circular platform to provide traverse and weighed only . A later model allowed the mounting to be collapsed for ease of transport . A new M 16 mortar bomb that used the German Poppenberg fuze system generally cured the dud problem , but it still used black powder as its propellant . This was a severe tactical disadvantage and it was decided to purchase replacement mortars from the German firm of Heinrich Lanz from 1917 .

Ottoman ship Mahmudiye Mahmudiye was a ship of the line of the Ottoman Navy . She was a three - masted three - decked 128 - gunned sailing ship , which could perhaps be considered to be one of the few completed heavy - first rate battleships . Mahmudiye , with a roaring lion as the ship ' s figurehead , was intended to serve to reconstitute the morale of the nation after the loss of the fleet at the Battle of Navarino in 1827 . The flagship was for many years the largest warship in the world . She was constructed by the naval architect Mehmet Kalfa and the naval engineer Mehmet Efendi on the order of Mahmud II ( reigned between 1808 – 1839 ) at " Tersane - i Amire " , the Imperial Shipyard , on the Golden Horn in Constantinople . The 201 × 56 kadem ( 1 kadem = 37 . 887 cm ) or ship of the line carried 1 , 280 sailors on board ( kadem , which translates as " foot " , is often misinterpreted as equivalent in length to one imperial foot , hence the wrongly converted dimensions of " 201 × 56 ft , or 62 × 17 m " in some sources . ) With the introduction of steam power in the end of the 1840s , it was considered to convert the pure sail - driven ship into a steamer . However , due to lack of the necessary space for the steam engine on board , the idea could not be realized . " Mahmudiye " participated in many important naval battles , including the Siege of Sevastopol ( 1854 – 1855 ) during the Crimean War ( 1854 - 1856 ) under the command of Admiral of the Fleet Kayserili Ahmet Pasha . She was honored with the title " Gazi " following her successful mission in Sevastopol . She was decommissioned in 1874 and broken up at the Imperial Shipyard .
