Antoinette military monoplane The Antoinette military monoplane , sometimes known as the Antoinette - Latham or the Antoinette Monobloc was an early monoplane built in France in the hope of attracting orders from the French military . It was a substantially redesigned member of the family that began with the Gastambide - Mengin I in 1908 , featuring a number of aerodynamic refinements . It had cantilever wings , without any bracing wires , and the aircraft featured spats to enclose the landing gear struts . However , these refinements made the aircraft too heavy to fly with its 37 kW ( 50 hp ) engine . Nevertheless , it was exhibited at the 1911 " Concours Militaire " at Reims , where unsurprisingly , it failed to attract any orders .

Fort Decker " Fort Decker " is a stone house built in 1793 from the remains of the fort of that name . It is located on West Main Street in Port Jervis , New York , the oldest building in that city , which it predates by several decades . The original Fort Decker was built by a Frederick Haynes , a Dutch settler , sometime before 1760 , during the French and Indian War , as an unofficial defense and trading post . It was one and a half stories high , built of stone and overlapping logs . Haynes left the area for New Jersey around 1775 , leaving the fort to his wife ' s family , the Deckers . On July 19 , 1779 , during Revolutionary War , when the settlement was known as " Peenpack " , the fort was burned during a raid by pro - British Indian leader Joseph Brandt . When survivors brought news of the disaster to Goshen , the Patriot attempt to retaliate led to a disastrous defeat at the Battle of Minisink , the only major engagement of the war in the upper Delaware Valley . The current house was built from the remains of the fort in 1793 . In 1826 , it would house engineers working on the Delaware and Hudson Canal , including John Jervis , whom the city would later be renamed for . It remained in private hands as a residence from then on . In 1903 , newspapers reported that the original roof was being removed , and in 1924 the building suffered partial damage from a fire . As early as the 1880s , there had been interest in using the structure as a museum . This did not become possible until 1970 , when the historical society bought it for $ 1 , 000 and converted it into a museum . In 1974 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places , the first of three buildings in Port Jervis to attain that distinction , the others being the Erie Depot and the Post Office .
Zhejiang - Jiangxi Campaign The Zhejiang - Jiangxi Campaign ( : 浙贛作戦 , ) , refers to a campaign by the China Expeditionary Army of the Japanese Imperial Army under Shunroku Hata and Chinese 3rd War Area forces under Gu Zhutong in the Chinese provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangxi from mid May to early September , 1942 . On April 18 , 1942 , the United States launched the Doolittle Raid , an attack by B - 25 Mitchell bombers from the USS " Hornet " on Tokyo , Nagoya , and Yokohama . The original plan was for the aircraft to bomb Japan and land at airfields in the unoccupied portion of China . Because the raid had to be launched earlier than planned , most of the aircraft ran out of fuel and crash - landed in the Chinese provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangxi . Sixty four airmen parachuted into the area around Zhejiang . Most were given shelter by the Chinese civilians but eight of the Americans were picked up by Japanese patrols ; three were shot after a show trial for ' crimes against humanity ' . The Japanese army then conducted a massive search for the other airmen and in the process whole towns and villages that were suspected of harboring the Americans were burned to the ground and many civilians executed . The Japanese also wanted to occupy the area to prevent American air force s from establishing bases in China from which they could reach the Japanese mainland . When Japanese troops moved out of the Zhejiang and Jiangxi areas in mid - August , they left behind a trail of devastation . Chinese estimates put the death toll at 250 , 000 civilians . In retaliation , the Imperial Japanese Army had also spread cholera , typhoid , plague and dysentery pathogens . 10 , 000 Japanese soldiers died when their own biological weapons attack rebounded on their forces . Shunroku Hata , the commander of Japanese forces involved in the massacre of the 250 , 000 Chinese civilians , was sentenced in 1948 in part due to his " failure to prevent atrocities " . He was given a life sentence but was paroled in 1955 .

Fukiya The fukiya ( 吹き矢 ) is the Japan ese blowgun , as well as the term for the associated sport . It consists of a long tube , with darts approximately in length . Unlike modern Western blowguns , the fukiya has no mouthpiece : instead , a shooter must maintain a seal with the lips as he forcefully exhales . The darts used in the fukiya are called " fukibari " . Traditionally , fukibari were two inches in length . In Japan , fukiya is considered to be an archery sport , maintained by the Japan Sports Fukiya Association . In order to promote fukiya , the International Fukiya Association ( IFA ) was formed , based in Japan . The main organizations under the IFA are the American Association ( ASBA ) , and the French Federation ( FSBA ) . History . The " fukiya " is often considered to have been a weapon of the ninja . It is known that in the past , there were numerous schools of martial arts and ninjutsu ( such as Togakure - ryū ) which used the fukiya and fukibari alone ( as " senbon " ) . A typical ninjutsu fukiya is around 50 cm , which is shorter than the sport fukiya , but does affect the effective range . Thus , even in theory , ninja would have had to use special darts with poison ed tips in order for it to work , and fired from a concealed location . Most likely , it was used similar to " shuriken " , as a distraction . The blowgun can also double as a breathing pipe and straw to enable the ninja practitioner to better survive in the wilderness . There will always be doubts whether it was truly effective compared to bow and arrows , since it has a shorter range . In the hands of experts ( " Master " level ) , it can be very accurate , as testified by sport fukiya players today . Science of fukiya . The range of a fukiya is determined by size ( diameter ) , weight , length and material of its basic component , the tube . Pressure built up in the tube from the player ' s breath and the technique that the player uses to channel the breath into the tube affects the speed that the dart will exit the muzzle . Weight will affect a player ' s ability to hold the tube steady , and arm fatigue level over a period of time . Sport fukiya . Like any sport , fukiya has certain guidelines for its equipment . In general , international guidelines set by IFA are less strict than JSFA . Currently , the specifications for international competitions are as follows :
