Ag m / 42 The Automatgevär m / 42 ( Ag m / 42 , outside of Sweden commonly known as the AG42 , AG - 42 or Ljungman ) is a Swedish semi - automatic rifle which saw limited use by the Swedish Army from 1942 until the 1960s . History . The Ag m / 42 was designed by Erik Eklund of the AB C . J . Ljungmans Verkstäder company of Malmö around 1941 , and entered production at the Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori in Eskilstuna in 1942 . Some 30 , 000 rifles were manufactured in all for the Swedish Army . This was a relatively small number of weapons and the standard infantry rifle remained the 6 . 5 mm bolt action m / 96 Mauser . Norwegian " police troops " trained in Sweden during World War II were issued a number of Ag m / 42s and brought these rifles to Norway when the Germans surrendered in 1945 . These rifles were never modified to the later Ag m / 42B version . After a number of issues had been discovered , including a serious problem with rusting gas tubes , the existing stocks of the rifle were modified between 1953 and 1956 , and the reworked rifles were designated Ag m / 42B . Modifications included a stainless steel gas tube , two knobs on the breech cover , a new elevation knob for the rear sight , a rubber case - deflector , new magazines and new cleaning rod . The Ag m / 42B was replaced in Swedish service in the mid 1960s by the Ak 4 ( derived from the Heckler & Koch G3 ) . In 1965 the Ag m / 42B manufacture licence was sold to Egypt resulting in the Hakim rifle , which uses the 7 . 92x57mm Mauser cartridge . Sweden sold the machinery to Egypt and the Hakim was therefore built with the same machine tools used for the Ag m / 42B . Eventually , the Hakim was modified into a carbine using the intermediate - power 7 . 62x39mm Russian cartridge , called the Rashid or Rasheed . Operation . The Ag m / 42 is operated by means of a direct impingement gas system , similar to that of the French MAS - 49 and American M16 rifles . The Ag m / 42 also uses a tilting breech block like the Tokarev SVT - 38 / SVT - 40 , the MAS - 49 and FN FAL rifles . The Ag m / 42 uses the 6 . 5x55mm cartridge loaded into a removable 10 - round box magazine . In practice , however , the magazine usually remained attached to the rifle while it was loaded from the top with five - round stripper clip s . Like the British Lee - Enfield and Soviet SVT - 40 , the Ag m / 42 ' s magazine was intended to be removed only for cleaning .

Death of Cook Death of Cook is the name of several paintings depicting the 1779 death of British explorer and European discoverer of the Hawaiian Islands , Captain James Cook at Kealakekua Bay . Most of these paintings seem to go back to an original by John Cleveley the Younger , painted in 1784 , although other versions , like that of John Webber , stood model for later copies too . Such artworks were reproduced in paint and engraving over the course of modern world history . The much more famous reproductions , like the one at the Honolulu Museum of Art ( allegedly based on the Cleveley version ) , often depicted Cook as a peacemaker trying to stop the fighting between his sailors and the native Hawaiians that they had challenged in combat . However , in 2004 , the original Cleverley painting was discovered in a private collection belonging to a family since 1851 . Cleveley ' s brother was a member of Cook ' s crew , and the painting is said to concur with eyewitness accounts . The original depicted Cook involved in hand - to - hand combat with the native Hawaiians . The discovery of the original painting has not changed the way most historians view Cook ' s relationship with the Hawaiians , as during his last voyage , Cook was reported by his contemporaries to have become irrationally violent . The original painting , worth approximately USD $ 200 , 000 to $ 300 , 000 , was put up for auction by Christie ' s auction house in London , England . Later . A later painting titled " The Death of Captain James Cook , 14 February 1779 " by Johann Zoffany was completed in 1794 and was the painting owned by Cook ' s widow . This painting is in the National Maritime Museum .

Ilyushin Il - 32 The Ilyushin Il - 32 was a Soviet heavy military glider developed after World War II to deliver of cargo . To facilitate loading and unloading the glider ' s nose and tail sections were hinged to swing sideways . The Il - 32 required a four - engined aircraft to tow it safely ; it was canceled when it became clear that no such tug was going to be available after the Tupolev Tu - 75 and Ilyushin Il - 18 programs were both canceled because of shortages of their intended Shvetsov ASh - 73 engines . Development . After the end of World War II the Soviets devoted a considerable amount of effort to developing heavy transport gliders to deliver troops during an airborne assault . As part of this effort the Council of Ministers ordered the Ilyushin design bureau on 20 September 1947 to begin work on a glider capable of carrying of cargo , including 60 troops or a cannon with its prime mover , ammunition and crew . Its intended tug was the Tupolev Tu - 75 , a four - engined transport derived from the Tupolev Tu - 4 . The Il - 32 was an aluminum body , high - wing cantilever monoplane with a fixed tricycle undercarriage whose fuselage was square in cross - section to fit as much cargo as possible . The two - spar wings had a moderate aspect ratio . It was regarded as expendable and was built very simply to facilitate large - scale manufacture . The nose and tail sections swung up to 95° to starboard to facilitate loading . The Il - 32 made its first flight on 20 August 1948 , towed by a twin - engined Ilyushin Il - 12 , but the Il - 12 wasn ' t powerful enough to tow a fully loaded glider and the four - engined Il - 18 airliner prototype was adapted to tow it from 20 September . During these flight tests it reached a cruising speed of at an altitude of and a weight of . The flight tests were satisfactory and preparations were made to begin series production , but the lack of suitable tugs was a problem . None of the Soviet four - engined aircraft that could be used were either in production or available . Both the Tupolev Tu - 70 and Il - 18 airliners had been canceled , as had the Tu - 75 transport , and the Tu - 4 was dedicated to the strategic bombing mission . Experiments were made with a pair of Il - 12s towing the Il - 32 , but this was both difficult and risky for all involved . The Il - 32 was therefore canceled for lack of a proper tug .
