Gao Guiying Gao Guiyng ( died 1647 ) was a female Chinese revolutionary , rebellion - leader and army - commander . From the beginning of the 17th century , the Ming dynasty - China was decaying during a large number of rebellions , the greatest one being the rebellion of Li Zicheng , who gathered a very large army of followers around him and became more successful every year . It is said that Li met Gao while hiding in the house of her father , and when he left , she went with him and took and active part in the rebellion , following him side by side at the head of his army , sharing his command ; while Li was the commander of the male troops , Gao educated , trained and lead the female troops of rebels . The rebellion was so successful that the armies of Li and Gao effectively controlled large parts of China and ruled them as independent entities . This caused Ming - China to fall to pieces , as it was at the same time attacked by the Manchu people . In 1644 , Li Zicheng captured Beijing , deposed the Ming dynasty and declared himself the emperor of a new dynasty , Shun 大順 . Accordingly , Guiying became the empress and took control over the city as his regent , but soon after , the Manchu took Beijing and established the new Qing dynasty . Li was killed in 1645 . Gao now saw the Manchu as her new enemies , and switched her allegiance to her former enemies : the remnants of the Ming ruling family had formed a new court in the south of China and ruled as the Southern Ming dynasty , and Gao , making herself known as the greatest enemy of the Qing dynasty , was called there to serve and continue the fight against the foreign intruders . She was styled " Lady of the first degree " in her own right , her position as military commander was secured and she was declared protector of the new Ming dynasty . Gao Guiyng is undoubtedly one of the most unusual and interesting characters in the Chinese history , especially considering the time she lived ; there have been a large number of women in her position earlier on in Chinese history , but in the 12th century , a women ' s position in China diminished severely , and the only other women of her time to have a similar position were Shen Yunying and Qin Liangyu .

William O ' Bryen Drury Rear - Admiral William O ' Bryen Drury ( died 6 March 1811 ) was a senior officer of the British Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars . Naval career . Drury served as commander of the ship of the line HMS " Powerful " during the French Revolutionary Wars , during which he was heavily engaged at the Battle of Camperdown , at which a Dutch fleet was destroyed in 1797 . In April 1804 , Drury was promoted to Rear - Admiral and in 1808 was sent to be commander of the East Indies Station as senior admiral . Drury ' s command overlapped with that of Albemarle Bertie at the Cape of Good Hope and the two engaged in numerous political struggles , even appointing separate officers to command the same ships to spite one another . In November 1810 , Drury was ordered to provide Bertie with a fleet of small transport ships for the Invasion of Île de France , which he accompanied and insisted on command despite orders not to infringe on Bertie ' s command of the operation . When Bertie was subsequently made a baronet as a reward for the successful conclusion of this operation Drury complained at length about Bertie to the Admiralty . Bertie demanded a court martial on his behaviour , which was dismissed by the Admiralty , who were becoming irritated by Drury and Bertie ' s squabbling . The issue remained unresolved at Drury ' s sudden death on 6 March 1811 on station in India .
Fort Davis , Alaska Fort Davis was a United States Army post established in the Nome Census Area of Alaska in 1900 . It was named for General Jefferson C . Davis , the military commander of Alaska from 1868 to 1870 . The Nome Gold Rush led to unrest from claim jumping , claim filing errors , and a general lack of authority . The Army was sent to the Nome area to maintain order . Before Fort Davis was established soldiers from the port of St . Michael was sent to maintain order in Nome . St . Michael was a transit harbour for the Klondike gold rush and due to its growth during this rush a military fort was build here in 1897 Fort Davis was abandoned around 1917 or possibly later based on other sources . The name was first published in 1967 and entered into the Geographic Names Information System on March 23 , 2001 .

Royal Romanian Air Force The Forţele Aeriene Regale ale României ( Royal Romanian Air Force , FARR ) , or simply Forţele Aeriene Române ( Romanian Air Force ) was the Air Arm of Royal Romania n forces in World War II . It provided support to land forces , carrying out reconnaissance and mounting air raids between other missions . Insignia . The insignia of the FARR was a yellow cross ( Michael the Brave cross ) in the fuselage and upper and lower wings , and the national colours on the tail , with a yellow engine cowling and vertical band on the fuselage . It was later changed at tricolor ( red - yellow - blue ) roundels on the fuselage and wings , and a tricolor band on the tail . History . FARR flew aircraft from Germany and Italy , with their own and other foreign aircraft , as well as captured enemy aircraft . The Romanian Air Force fought against the Magyar Királyi Honvéd Légierö ( Hungarian Air Force ) during the Hungarian annexation of Transylvania . The most basic unit of their formations was the squadron ( " Grup " ) . The Romanian Air Force fought alongside the Luftwaffe during the advance into the Ukraine and Crimea , until the Battle of Stalingrad , when the Southern Luftwaffe Command was installed in Bucharest . It also carried out some reconnaissance and patrol missions over the Black Sea alongside Bulgarian units . The Romanian Air Force was tasked with the air defence of the Ploieşti oil installations , and also Bucharest against Allied air raids , and to protect Axis convoys in the Black Sea . These units fought against the USAAF and RAF during their raids against Romania . The main models of aircraft used include the PZL P . 24 F , Hawker Hurricane , Heinkel He 112 , Messerschmitt 109 E and G types , Messerschmitt 110 ( for night defence ) , IAR 80 A were used too , alongside other types of interceptors used by the Luftwaffe units in area . When the country was invaded by Soviet forces , King Mihai I ( Michael ) ordered Romanian forces to attack Axis forces , and the FARR was allied with Soviet Voenno - vozdushniye Sily against German and Hungarian forces in Transylvania and Slovakia , though some units continued to fight with the Axis in Luftwaffe volunteer units . Aircraft companies . Aircraft constructed under foreign license Enemy aircraft interned or captured .

Baltic Sea Division The Baltic Sea Division ( ) was a 10 , 000 man German military unit commanded by Rüdiger von der Goltz . The core of the division comprised two army brigades from the German eastern front : 95 . Reserve Infantry Brigade ( led by Colonel K . Wolff ) and 2 . Guards Cavalry Brigade ( led by Colonel H . von Tschirsky und von Bögendorff ) . They were supported by additional artillery and pioneer troops , and transported to Finland by a naval squadron led by Hugo Meurer . The military activity of the Division in Finland served part of the foreign policy of the German Empire after the Treaty of Brest - Litovsk with Soviet Russia , signed on 3 March 1918 . Germany aimed to establish a chain of satellite states in eastern Europe in order to provide raw materials for German industry and food products for the German people . The Finnish Senate of Vaasa had requested German military aid for the Whites . The Finnish Senate paid all the financial costs of the military intervention of the Baltic Sea Division and urged the Finnish people to provide food , shelter , and any other aid needed by the Baltic Sea Division . During the Finnish Civil War , on 3 April 1918 , it landed at Hanko and moved towards Helsinki and Lahti . The Baltic Sea Division quickly took back Helsinki from the Social Democrats of Finland , who had previously deposed the official government in Helsinki . This enabled the Senate to return to Helsinki .
AN / URM - 25D Signal Generator The AN / URM - 25 Signal Generator was an electronic vacuum - tube radio - frequency ( RF ) signal generator used during the 1950s and 1960s by the U . S . Military to test electronic equipment . History . The AN / URM - 25 was part of a series of vacuum tube - based signal generators built for the U . S . Military in the early Cold War - era . Today they are collected and used by vintage amateur radio and antique radio enthusiasts who say they provide reasonably high accuracy and stability for a low cost , with build quality reflecting tough military construction requirements and standards . Specifications . Frequency output ranges from 10 kHz to 50 MHz with amplitude modulation selectable at 400 and 1 , 000 Hz . RF level from 0 . 1 microvolts to 100 millivolts or 2 volts is available depending upon termination load . Output impedance is 50 , 500 ohms . Carrier oscillation is performed by a 6AH6 tube with an additional 6AH6 buffer stage followed by a 6AG7 output amplifier . Amplitude modulation at 400 and 1 , 000 Hz is provided by a 5814A ( military 12AU7 ) oscillator . URM - 25x models also contain an internal VTVM ( vacuum tube voltmeter ) and crystal calibration . The carrier frequency can be set by interpolation using the graduated dial . Additionally , the URM - 25 ' s have a BNC connector for constant 200 mV output that can be connected to a frequency meter to display frequency accurately . A sufficient warm - up period is required to ensure the best stability at higher frequencies . The cabinet cover includes accessories such as an impedance adapter , fixed attenuator and antenna simulator . Additional accessory kit MK - 288 includes adapters and more dummy loads . Models and differences . " URM " indicates General Utility , Radio , and Maintenance and Test Assembly . The URM - 25 units were released in several series from 25A through 25J ; some differ substantially in both circuitry and configuration . It is common to find units having differing identification tags ; i . e . front face tag may differ from the cabinet tag . Additionally , some units have additional minor circuitry that do not show up on the schematic . Overhauling . Some present - day electronic hobbyists say the URM - 25 series is a good cost - effective choice to use for tuning radio equipment ; but overhauling can be tricky and time - consuming . Many say that the model F is easier to work on than the model D , which is in relatively plentiful supply .

Able Seaman ( rank ) Royal Navy . In the British Royal Navy in the middle of the 18th century , the term Able Seaman ( abbreviated AB ) referred to a seaman with at least two years ' experience at sea . Seamen with less experience were referred to as landmen or ordinary seamen . In 1653 the Royal Navy introduced a new pay scale as part of reforms following defeat in the Battle of Dungeness the previous year . Included in these reforms were , for the first time , separate pay scales for more experienced seaman . It distinguished between an ordinary seaman and an able seaman . The higher ranked able seaman could steer , use the lead and work aloft , traditionally to “ hand , reef , and steer . ” An able seaman received about 25 % higher pay than an ordinary seaman . In time of war ( such as the Seven Years ' War or the Napoleonic Wars ) , with many more warship s in service , the navy , merchant marine , and privateer s competed ferociously for the limited pool of able seamen , leading to the unpopular use of impressment by the Royal Navy to keep its ships manned . In peacetime , with many fewer active warships , there was usually a surplus of unemployed able seamen willing to work in the navy . As late as the Napoleonic Wars , the Royal Navy ' s practice of stopping American ships to press supposed American sailors , who were in fact British subjects , into involuntary service , was one of the main factors leading to the War of 1812 with the United States . Notable Able Seamen . Some notable Able Seamen from the Royal Navy include : Canadian Navy . In the Canadian Navy , Able Seaman ( AB ) is the second - lowest of the non - commissioned member ranks , ranking above Ordinary Seaman and below Leading Seaman . Able Seamen wear a single gold chevron , point down , as an insignia of rank ; it is worn on the upper part of both sleeves of the Service Dress tunic , and on slip - ons on both shoulders on other uniforms . Able Seaman is the equivalent rank to Private ( Trained ) , or simply Private , in the Army and Air Force . In French the rank is called " Matelot de 2e classe " . The ranks are following :
Armin Thiede Armin Thiede ( 30 December 1917 – 9 July 1943 ) was a highly decorated Hauptmann in the Luftwaffe during World War II and a recipient of the Knight ' s Cross of the Iron Cross . The Knight ' s Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership . During his career he flew 700 + missions .

Point d ' appui A point d ' appui ( French for fulcrum ) , in military theory , is a location where troops are assembled prior to a battle . Often a monument is erected to commemorate the point d ' appui for notable battles . In some battles there may be more than a single point d ' appui . Examples . In Scotland , the Catto Long Barrow is located at the point d ' appui of a historic battle between Vikings and Pict s in eastern Aberdeenshire .
