In the 14th and partially in the 15th centuries the castle was the property of the knightly family of Busewoy . In the period of the Hussite Wars , the building was captured and plundered by a Hussite detachment . In 1470 , the Prince of Legnica , Friedrich I repurchased it .

Dassault Super Mystère The Dassault Super Mystère was a French fighter - bomber , the first Western European supersonic aircraft to enter mass production . Design and development . The Super Mystère represents the final step in evolution which began with the Dassault Ouragan and progressed through the Mystère II / III and Mystère IV . While earlier Mystère variants could attain supersonic speeds only in a dive , the Super Mystère could exceed the speed of sound in level flight . This was achieved thanks to the new thin wing with 45° of sweep ( compared with 41° of sweep in the Mystère IV and only 33° in Mystère II ) and the use of an afterburner - equipped turbojet engine . The first prototype Super Mystère B . 1 , powered by a Rolls - Royce Avon RA . 7R , took to the air on March 2 , 1955 . The aircraft broke the sound barrier in level flight the following day . The aircraft entered production in 1957 as the Super Mystère B . 2 . The production version differed from the prototype by having a more powerful SNECMA Atar 101G engine . In 1958 , two Super Mystère B . 4 prototypes were built . Equipped with a new 48° swept wing and a more powerful SNECMA Atar 9B engine , the aircraft were capable of Mach 1 . 4 . Production never materialized because the faster Dassault Mirage III was entering service . In 1973 , the Israeli Air Force and Honduras Air Force upgraded their Super Mystère B . 2s with a non - afterburning version of the Pratt & Whitney J52 - P8A and new avionics . A total of 180 Super Mystère B . 2s were built . Operational history . The Super Mystère served with the French Air Force until 1977 . In addition , 24 aircraft were sold to the Israeli Air Force in 1958 . The aircraft saw action in the 1967 Six - Day War and the 1973 Yom Kippur War . They were well liked by the Israeli pilots and were a match for the Arab MiG - 19 aircraft in air - to - air combat . In 1976 , Israel sold 12 complete airframes to Honduras . In 1979 , 4 more complete airframes were purchased by the Hondurans , totaling 16 aircraft . They were involved in numerous border skirmishes with Sandinista Nicaragua and were finally withdrawn from service in 1996 replaced by 12 Northrop F - 5E s . The 11 surviving aircraft are for sale as surplus and 1 more is preserved at the Honduras Air Museum . http : / / www . aeroflight . co . uk / waf / americas / el _ salvador / El _ Salvador - af - EscCazaBomb . htm

Chū Kudō , real name , was a Japan ese adventurer , Manchukuo politician and Lieutenant General in the Manchukuo Imperial Army . Background . Kudō was born in Itayanagi , Kitatsugaru , Aomori as the third son of the wealthy farmer Bun ' emon Obata . He had an interest in continental issues , and after graduating from Kinjō Gakuen High School left Japan . After dropping out of a vocational school in 1903 , he threw himself into revolutionary movement s occurring in China . In his autobiographies , he gave many fanciful accounts of his early life in China , including episodes where he claimed to have walked across the frozen Strait of Tartary in order to join bandits in northern China and to attempt to blow up a warlord operated railway . Even though he did not have any official military standing , through his contacts with Japanese spymaster Kenji Doihara and Yoshiko Kawashima he entered the Manchukuo Imperial Army as a Lieutenant General in 1932 and simultaneously served as both and Aide - de - camp to the Emperor of Manchukuo . Feeling that a Chinese name would be more appropriate for work in China , Tetsusaburō Kudō consulted with the Manchurian emperor Puyi and received the name . Always willing to help others from Aomori , his home in Xinjing ( present day Changchun ) was known as a " rōnin house " . In 1942 , he held secret meetings with Fumimaro Konoe and others in the upper levels of the Japanese government who hoped to bring a quick end to the Second Sino - Japanese War and an armistice with Kuomintang . As a high level military officer and imperial official , Kudō always accompanied Puyi and offered advice . While Puyi had the title of emperor , he was only a puppet of the Japanese Kwantung Army . However , the emperor highly trusted Kudō , and in his memoirs " The First Half of My Life " ( 我的前半生 ) wrote : " He would always speak at my side . He even expressed to me secret discontent with the Kwantung Army . One time when the color of my tea seemed odd , I was about to have it tested thinking that someone had poisoned it . Kudō took the tea cup and drank it all at once . After I had become emperor , he was the only Japanese to call me ' His Majesty the Emperor ' , and when he was displeased with the tyrannical Kwantung Army , he told me that he believed that I could restore the name of the Qing dynasty . The loyalty that he displayed would certainly not have paled even to the most model retainers , so gave him the name Chū [ Loyal ] and treated him like family . He wept with great emotion , and swore to always be loyal until his death . " On July 26 , 2007 , Kudō ' s house where he was raised was opened as a place of historical records . It contains , among many things , clothing of the time and pictures with the Manchukuo emperor .
