Benjamin Forsyth Benjamin Forsyth was an American officer of Rifle troops in the War of 1812 between Britain and America . Originally from Stokes County , North Carolina , he obtained a lieutenancy in the U . S . 1st Rifle Regiment when it was formed in 1808 . By the time the War broke out , he had risen to the rank of Captain and commanded a company . Based at Ogdensburg , New York during the autumn and winter of 1812 , he led the successful Raid on Gananoque and other attacks across the Saint Lawrence River , which threatened the British supply lines to their forces in Upper Canada . In February 1813 , the British used a temporary superiority in strength to drive Forsyth from his positions at the Battle of Ogdensburg . Forsyth ' s company was ordered to join the main American force at Sackett ' s Harbor rather than reoccupy Ogdensburg . They led the American assault at the Battle of York , and played a major part at the Battle of Fort George . Later in the year , Forsyth ( now a major ) and his men took part in the campaign aimed at capturing Montreal , but were not present at the Battle of Crysler ' s Farm . Forsyth was promoted to brevet Lieutenant Colonel the following winter . He was active in skirmishing and patrolling north of Lake Champlain in the late spring and summer and was killed in June 1814 in a clash at Odelltown . His death made him a hero to the people of North Carolina , who named Forsyth County after him . In addition , the state General Assembly paid for his son ' s education through special legislation and gave him a jewelled sword . Forsyth Street on Manhattan ' s Lower East Side is also named for him .
Eli Beeding Eli Lackland Beeding Jr . ( born December 17 , 1928 ) was a U . S . Air Force captain and rocket test subject . In 1958 , a series experiments using a miniature rocket sled began at Holloman AFB under the supervision of Colonel John Stapp and Captain Beeding . Participants rode the " Daisy Sled " ( so - called because it was originally designed to be air , and not rocket , powered ) at various speeds and in many different positions — even head first — in an attempt to learn more about the " g " - force force limits of the human body . On May 16 , Capt . Eli Beeding prepared to make a 40 " g " run . The Daisy shot down the track , reached a top speed around 35 mph , and came to a screeching halt in less than a tenth of a second . " When I hit the water brake , " Beeding recalled in a recent interview , " It felt like Ted Williams had hit me on the back , about lumbar five , with a baseball bat . " Beeding had barely informed flight surgeon Capt . Les Eason of his troubles when he began to experience tunnel vision and passed out . It was a scary moment , since the standard protocol for shock would be to elevate Beeding ’ s feet . Yet there was a chance his back was broken , in which case he shouldn ’ t be touched . Taking a calculated risk , Eason and Tech . Sgt . Roy Gatewood gently moved Beeding onto the side of the sled and elevated his feet . Ten minutes later , Beeding emerged from shock and was rushed to the base hospital . Doctors determined his back was only badly bruised . " I thought that was the big excitement of the day , ” Beeding recalls . " But later my boss came to me and said , ‘ The chest accelerometer tracing shows you got 82 . 6 " g " ! ’ " Subsequent tests with bears showed that the reading was not a fluke , and that Beeding had indeed endured a massive " g " load . When word got out , the young captain made headlines as the man who had topped John Stapp ' s " g " - force record . Beeding however is quick to point out that he rode the sled backwards , and that his time at 83 " g " s was “ infinitesimal ” compared to the 1 . 1 second durations Stapp faced during his own tests . “ That doesn ’ t sound like much ( time ) , ” Beeding notes , “ But I guarantee you , having been through it at lesser durations , one second is an eternity . ” Still , the incident was wholly remarkable and made Beeding a hero and , for several decades thereafter , his name appeared in the 1959 Guinness Book of World Records . Beeding later retired from the Air Force and now lives in Colorado .
Liberation Army of the South The Liberation Army of the South ( , occasionally abbreviated to ELS ) was an armed group formed and led by Emiliano Zapata that took part in the Mexican Revolution . The force was commonly known as the Zapatistas . The Zapatistas were formed in 1910 in the southern Mexican state of Morelos . Zapata , whose main cause was land reform , became one of the major figures of the Mexican Revolution . The Zapatistas originally aligned with Francisco Madero in opposition to the regime of president Porfirio Diaz , who was soon after overthrown in 1911 . After Madero ' s regime , too , proved uncommitted to the cause of land reform , the Zapatistas turned against him . Fighting continued against the successive leaders Victoriano Huerta and Venustiano Carranza . In 1914 , Zapata met at the head of his army with Pancho Villa and his forces at Mexico City to determine the course of the revolution , but they returned to their respective territories without a connected anti - Constitutionalist coalition . When back in Morelos , the Zapatistas fortified themselves against incursions by the forces eager to reassume control of the liberated territories known as the Morelos Commune . Zapata ' s assassination in 1919 struck a mortal blow to Zapatistas , and the army slowly disbanded afterwards . The Zapatistas were mainly poor peasants who wished to spend much of their time working their land to produce an income . As a result , Zapatista soldiers tended to serve for several months at a time , and then return home to spend most of the year farming . The structure of the Zapatista army was very loose and the rank system limited in scope . The Zapatista army was united entirely by the charismatic leadership of Zapata . It was divided into small , largely independent units rarely numbering more than one hundred men , each commanded by a chief ( " jefe " ) . These units spent the overwhelming majority of their time separated from the other units . Officer ranks were eventually introduced to coordinate groups . The chief of a unit over about fifty men was , generally speaking , given the rank of general . Smaller bands were commanded by colonels and captains . Not all captains were " official " , that is to say , recognised by Zapata and senior Zapatistas , some being " unofficially " proclaimed captains by their unit . Beyond Zapata ' s overall command and the leadership of bands , there was limited use of ranks or hierarchy . Sub - officer ranks were introduced late in the revolution in an effort to create a more disciplined force . One of Zapata ' s famous dictums was " " al ratero perdono pero al traidor jamas " " ; " a robber I can forgive , but a traitor . . . never . "

Ebba Ksour Airfield Ebba Ksour Airfield is an abandoned World War II military airfield in Tunisia , located near El Ksour , in Kef province , approximately 150 km South - West of Tunis . The airfield was built as a temporary wartime field by Army Engineers , using Pierced Steel Planking ( PSP ) for runways and parking and dispersal areas , and support structures being quickly constructed out of wood or tents . It was used briefly by the United States Army Air Forces Twelfth Air Force 33d Fighter Group between 12 April and 9 June 1943 during the North African Campaign flying P - 40 Warhawk s . After the 33d moved east to Menzel Temime , the airfield was dismantled by engineers . The precise location of the airfield is undetermined . The land around El Ksour is a mixture of desert and agriculture and the land has largely either returned to its natural state or been developed into agriculture after the war . Today , there is little or no evidence remaining of the airfield ' s existence after 60 years .
RPG - 6 The RPG - 6 was a Soviet anti - tank hand - grenade ( RPG was the Russian designation , not the more usual abbreviation of " rocket - propelled grenade " ) operating on the shaped charge principle , developed during World War II . It underwent testing in September 1943 , and was accepted into service in October of the same year . It was a conical casing enclosing a shaped charge and containing 562 grams of TNT , fitted with a percussion fuse and four cloth ribbons to provide stability in flight after throwing . It could penetrate approximately 100 millimeters of armour . The RPG - 6 had a fragmentation radius of 20 metres from the point of detonation , and proved useful against infantry as well as tanks . History . The RPG - 6 was designed as a replacement for the RPG - 43 . The RPG - 43 had a large warhead , but was designed to detonate in contact with a tank ' s armour ; it was later found that optimal performance was gained from a HEAT warhead if it exploded a short distance from the armour , roughly the same distance as the weapon ' s diameter . In the RPG - 6 this was achieved by adding a hollow pointed nose section with the impact fuse in it , so that when the weapon detonated the warhead was at the optimum distance from the armour . The weapon was a success and went into mass production , being used alongside the RPG - 43 in many countries long after the war .
Pitched battle A pitched battle or set piece battle is a battle where both sides choose to fight at a chosen location and time and where either side has the option to disengage either before the battle starts , or shortly after the first armed exchanges . A pitched battle is not a chance encounter such as a skirmish or meeting engagement , where one side is forced to fight at a time not of their choosing such as happens in a siege . For example , the first pitched battle of the English Civil War , the Battle of Edgehill , was fought when the Royalists chose to move off an escarpment to a less advantageous position so that the Parliamentarians would be willing to fight . In contrast the Battle of Gettysburg , fought during the American Civil War , started by chance as a skirmish , but as both generals chose to reinforce their positions instead of disengaging , they turned what was initially a skirmish into a pitched battle .
USS Aeolus ( SP - 186 ) USS " Aeolus " ( SP - 186 ) was the proposed name and designation for a motorboat considered for United States Navy service as a patrol vessel but never acquired . " Aeolus " was built in 1915 by Joe Polliot at Detroit , Michigan . The U . S . Navy inspected her for World War I service as a patrol vessel , and assigned her the section patrol designation SP - 186 . However , the Navy never acquired her for service , and she remained in civilian hands .
West Kent Light Infantry The West Kent Light Infantry was a militia regiment in the United Kingdom from 1758 to 1881 , when it was amalgamated into The Queen ' s Own ( Royal West Kent Regiment ) . The regiment was organised in 1758 as the West Kent Militia . It was embodied in 1778 , at which time it was ranked the 12th regiment of militia , and remained active for five years . It was regularly re - ranked through its embodiment , becoming the 4th in 1779 , 36th in 1780 , 27th in 1781 , and 23rd in 1782 . It was embodied again in 1793 for the French Revolutionary Wars , ranked as the 1st , and disembodied in 1802 . With the resumption of hostilities in 1803 , it was embodied as the 57th , and disembodied with the peace in 1814 , being briefly embodied again in 1815 - 16 . In 1833 , it was ranked as the 37th , and redesignated as light infantry . It was embodied during the Crimean War , from January 1855 to July 1856 . In 1876 it was split into two battalions , the 1st and 2nd . In 1881 , under the Childers Reforms , the regiment was transferred into The Queen ' s Own ( Royal West Kent Regiment ) as the 3rd and 4th Battalions ; these were amalgamated in 1894 into a single battalion , the 3rd . This was embodied for the South African War in December 1899 , and disembodied in mid - 1901 , after garrison service in the Mediterranean . During the Haldane Reforms in 1908 the battalion was transferred to the Special Reserve , and was embodied on mobilisation in 1914 for the First World War . As with all Special Reserve battalions , it served as a regimental depot , and was disembodied following the end of hostilities in 1919 , with personnel transferred to the 2nd Battalion . The battalion nominally remained in existence throughout the Second World War , but was never activated , and was finally disbanded in 1953 .

Soviet Union military aircraft designation systems Pre - revolutionary Imperial Russia ( before 1917 ) did not have a single national unified system but instead relied on those provided by the manufacturers of the aircraft , like Sikorsky Ilya Muromets or Anatra Anasal . Pre - war Soviet System . The Soviet system used from shortly after the revolution in 1923 and until gradually superseded after 1940 , was divided by function , with numbers assigned in order by the government . Duplicate designations were common , as were multiple meanings for individual letters . Designers and manufacturers also had their own internal designations which could be confused for the official government designations . For instance , Tupolev ' s designs used the designator ANT , for A . N . Tupolev and Yakovlev ' s designs used AIR , for A . I . Rykov , the communist leader he reported to . Not all designations were taken up , some numbers were assigned to projects that were subsequently cancelled , often at a very early stage of development . Soviet system after December 9 , 1940 . The system after December 9 , 1940 ( in accordance with order No 704 ) used letter abbreviations for the " design office " , then sequential numbers , sometimes with odd numbers for " fighters " and even numbers for other types however , this latter rule was not always applied , especially for helicopters . Contrary to western sources , official Soviet designations did not include constructors ' names ( e . g . Yakovlev Yak - 1 ) , only abbreviations ( i . e . Yak - 1 ) however initially full names like Yakovlev - 1 were occasionally used . Numerical designations were assigned individually for each developer to aircraft when they entered service . Aircraft also frequently had development designations used within design bureaus , like " aircraft 105 , " or " ANT - 105 " that led to the Tu - 22 , or T - 6 for Su - 24 , and an industry production name assigned to the facility where production was undertaken . The NATO Air Standardization Coordinating Committee reporting name system ( used because designations of new types were often unknown to NATO ) was based on an initial letter indicating type of aircraft ( B = bomber , C = cargo , F = fighter , H = helicopter , M = miscellaneous ) or missile , and 1 syllable if propeller - driven or 2 if jet - or rocket - powered .
Shiba Takatsune In 1336 , an ally of Nitta named Uryū Tamotsu attacked Shiba ' s castle , which fell soon afterwards . Two years later , Shiba was ordered by the shogun Ashikaga Takauji to attack Uryū ' s fortress at Somayama . The attack failed , and Shiba was forced to fight Nitta ' s forces again in the defense of the Kuromaru ( Black Fortress ) . With the aid of forces sent by Takauji and warrior monks from Heisenji , the fortress was held , and Nitta Yoshisada mortally wounded in the battle . Despite this great victory , Shiba was defeated once again in 1340 , when the newly throned Emperor Go - Murakami sent an army to attack the Kuromaru . Shiba was forced to surrender . The same year , a number of men claiming to serve Shiba invaded an area called Kawaguchi - shō , which was controlled by the Kōfuku - ji temple . In 1363 Shiba seized the area officially , becoming essentially a " daimyō " ( feudal lord ) , gaining independent power beyond what was given him by the Shogunate . The monks of Kōfuku - ji resorted to various forms of blackmail and were granted their land back . However , Shiba continued to gain power , instituting " shugo - uke " , a system under which the Constable would take a set amount of rice from the people of the land , paying the peoples ' taxes to the Shogun and keeping the rest as a sort of commission . Of those few Constables who became lords in their own right , most if not all abused this system , earning great revenues for themselves . As the Constables gained wealth and power , their reliance on the Shogunate , and thus their loyalty to it , deteriorated . Shiba became a powerful " daimyō " in his own right , and , becoming independent of the appointed role given him by the Shogunate , made control of Echizen province hereditary . Shiba Yoshimasa was the son of Takatsune .
Carpaea Carpaea ( Greek : ) among the Aenianians , Magnesia ns , and Macedonians was a kind of mimic military dance , performed by two persons ; the one acting as a laborer , the other as a robber . It is described by Xenophon in his Anabasis ( 6 . 1 . 7 - 6 . 1 . 8 ) : " The manner of the dance was this : a man is sowing and driving a yoke of oxen , his arms laid at one side , and he turns about frequently as one in fear ; a robber approaches ; as soon as the sower sees him coming , he snatches up his arms , goes to meet him , and fights with him to save his oxen . The two men do all this in rhythm to the music of the flute . Finally , the robber binds the man and drives off the oxen ; or sometimes the master of the oxen binds the robber , and then he yokes him alongside the oxen , his hands tied behind him , and drives off . "
Feng Yunshan Feng Yunshan ( ; 1815 – June 10 , 1852 ) was an important leader during the Taiping Rebellion against the Qing government ( 1850 – 1864 ) . Feng was a companion of Hong Xiuquan from the very earliest days of the rebellion . Feng was the founder of the " God Worshipers " during the 1840s . This was the very first form the Taiping Rebellion took . He was one of the first Taipings to be baptised and Hong publicly announced how Feng was a deep friend of his . Feng assembled thousands of believers in Guangxi during the time Hong spent in Canton in 1847 , founding the base of the Taiping Rebellion . Feng was later announced as the " South King " of the Taiping Rebellion . On May 24 , 1852 as the Taiping marched by Quanzhou with no intention of invading , a Qing gunner fatally wounded Feng as he sat in his sedan chair . Rallied by the news , the Taiping surrounded Quanzhou and in the space of 2 days breached the walls and killed every citizen who had not fled . Feng finally succumbed to his wounds in June that year .
BAE Systems Marine BAE Systems Marine Ltd . was the shipbuilding subsidiary of BAE Systems , formed in 1999 , which manufactured the full range of naval ships ; nuclear submarines , frigates , destroyers , amphibious ships . In 2003 BAE Systems Marine was split into separate submarine and surface ship units ; BAE Systems Submarines and BAE Systems Naval Ships . The latter was merged into a BAE Systems / VT Group joint venture , BVT Surface Fleet in 2008 , which subsequently became BAE Systems Surface Ships in 2009 . History . BAE Systems Marine was created following the merger of Marconi Electronic Systems ( MES ) and British Aerospace ( BAe ) to form BAE Systems in 1999 . Like other parts of the business ( e . g . Marconi Avionics ) the former Marconi Marine was required to be " firewalled " within the new company . Marconi Marine owned the major assets which made up BAE Systems Marine : In 2003 the YSL and Govan shipyards were placed under the control of a new unit of BAE , BAE Systems Naval Ships . The shipyard at Barrow became part of BAE Systems Submarine Solutions . This reorganisation was , to quote the company , " to provide a focus on the UK and export surface warship building market . "
