In the early morning hours of September 7 , 1937 , " Baleares " unexpectedly met a Republican convoy consisting of two merchant ships escorted by Republican cruisers and destroyer s . " Baleares " was beaten off and badly damaged in the engagement , but the merchantmen were lost when they tried to slip away along the Algerine shoreline . The biggest danger for the convoy was not the " Baleares " itself , but Nationalist shore - based aircraft that might have appeared once the Nationalist cruiser had radioed the convoy ' s location . Because of this , the four destroyers quickly broke off the engagement and continued to escort the merchant convoy . While these ships steamed ahead , Republican cruisers " Libertad " and " Méndez Núñez " engaged " Baleares " . A crashing volley from the " Libertad " smashed " Baleares " ' electronics , temporarily disabling the cruiser ' s main guns . But the Nationalists repaired the damage and the " Baleares " renewed her pursuit . The warships met again in the afternoon , " Libertad " scoring two more hits on critical areas of the " Baleares " . " Baleares " then limped off to wait for her sister - ship " Canarias " . The retreating Republican ships were later attacked , ineffectively , by several Nationalist warplanes , most of them Italian bomber s from the " Aviación Legionaria " , a squadron of the Regia Aeronautica which fought in Spain under Franco ' s orders . During the engagement the captains of the two freighters escorted by the Republican fleet had panicked and changed course to the south to seek shelter in Algerine waters . One of the steamers ran aground in Cherchell , while the remaining ship eventually reached Bona , where she was interned by French authorities . The Republican fleet commander Miguel Buiza was demoted after this battle .
SIG 33 Self - Propelled Artillery The sIG 33 Self - propelled Artillery were a series of self - propelled mounts for the German sIG 33 howitzer . They first appeared in 1940 , and improved versions were still in production in 1944 . History . The Invasion of Poland had shown that the sIG 33 s assigned to the infantry gun companies of the motorized infantry regiments had difficulties keeping up with the tanks during combat . The easiest solution was to use a spare tank chassis to carry it into battle . It was first mounted on a Panzer I chassis and given a lightly armored superstructure . This produced an adequate vehicle , but the center of gravity was very high , and the chassis was overloaded . As a result only a few dozen were built . Since the over - loaded Panzer I chassis was too small for the gun , production switched to models using the chassis of larger , more suitable tanks . In 1942 the PzKpfw II chassis was modified to accept the sIG 33 . This version also received better armour protection . Eventually production switched to a modified version of the PzKpfw III and later still to the Panzer 38 ( t ) . Guns . The early vehicles used ordinary sIG 33s , but an sIG 33 / 1 was developed for use on later vehicles although it ' s unknown what the changes were from the original model . The 15 cm Sturmhaubitze 43 gun used on the Sturmpanzer IV was an entirely new design developed by Skoda that used the same ammunition as the sIG 33 .

Serenianus was born in Pannonia . attended at the court of Roman Emperor Constantius II ( 337 - 361 ) . It is known that he had been a former general , in charge of the defence of Phoenicia , whose laxity had been the reason for the devastation of the city of Celsein . He was put under trial for treason : he had sent one of his men with an enchanted hat to ask oracles on the Emperor ' s life . However , even if the charge was demonstrated , he was declared not guilty , thanks to his friends . In 354 he was sent to Pula , where Caesar Constantius Gallus was under trial for treason , to tell the prisoner that he had been condemned to death ; then , together with Apodemius and Pentadius , he executed the Caesar . In 364 , Emperor Valentinian I proclaimed his brother Valens co - emperor . The two rulers divided among themselves the army and the officers . In this occasion , Serenianus , who had been returned to the reserve for long time , entered at Valens ' service as " comes domesticorum " ( " commander of the imperial bodyguard " ) . In 366 he was killed by Marcellus , " protector " of usurper Procopius , who , in 365 , rebelled against Emperor Valens . The story is told differently by the two sources survived , Ammianus Marcellinus and Zosimus . According to Ammianus , Serenianus stayed loyal to Valens . That year Serenianus went to Cyzicus , where he found that an imperial officer called Venustus had brought in that city , for fear of the usurper , the money to pay the troops ; Serenianus , confident in the city garrison and in the strength of the city walls , fortified in Cizycus . To obtain that money , Procopius collected a strong army and put under siege Cyzicus , capturing the city and Serenianus , who was sent , as a prisoner , to Nicaea . After Procopius was killed , Marcellus , who was in command of the garrison of Nicaea , during the night entered the Palace , where Serenianus was held , and killed him . According to Zosimus , who follows Eunapius , Serenianus was in Bithynia , leading some cavalry units , and Procopius sent Marcellinus to Bithynia to neutralize this menace . Serenianus occupied Cyzicus , but Marcellinus put under siege and captured the city , pursued the fleeing Serenianus in Lydia and killed him . Ammianus had a mad opinion of Serenianus , whom he describes rude and cruel , and says that Marcellus ' only merit was to have killed Serenianus and saved thus many lives , as Serenianus , once free , would have damaged many people .
Airco DH . 10 The Airco DH . 10 Amiens was a British twin - engined medium bomber designed and built towards the end of the First World War . It served briefly with the RAF postwar . Design and development . The DH . 10 was designed by Geoffrey de Havilland to meet the requirements of Air Board Specification A . 2 . b for a single - or twin - engined day bomber . It was a development of the earlier Airco DH . 3 bomber , which had flown in 1916 , but had been rejected by the War Office because of a belief that strategic bombing would be ineffective and that twin engines were impracticable . The first prototype flew on 4 March 1918 , powered by two 230 hp ( 186 kW ) Siddeley Puma engines mounted as pushers . When evaluated by the RAF , the performance of this prototype was well below expectation , reaching only 90 mph ( 145 km / h ) at 15 , 000 ft ( 4 , 572 m ) with the required bomb load , compared with the specified . Owing to this poor performance , the DH . 10 was redesigned with more powerful engines in a tractor installation . The second prototype , known as the Amiens Mark II was powered by two 360 hp ( 268 kW ) Rolls - Royce Eagle VIII engines and first flew in April 1918 , showing greatly superior performance and proving to be faster than the DH . 9A while carrying twice the bomb load . While shortages of the Eagle meant that the Amiens Mark II could not be put into production , it proved the design for the definitive aircraft , the Amiens Mark III , which was powered by the more readily available 395 hp ( 295 kW ) Liberty 12 from America , as was the DH . 9A . Following successful evaluation , large orders were placed , with a total of 1 , 291 ordered . Operational history . First deliveries of DH . 10s were to No . 104 Squadron RAF in November 1918 , flying a single bombing mission on 10 November 1918 before the Armistice ended the First World War . Postwar , DH . 10s equipped 120 Squadron , which used them to operate an air mail service to the British Army of Occupation on the Rhine . Amiens were also used by 97 Squadron ( later re - numbered as 60 Squadron ) which deployed to India . It provided support to the Army on the North - West Frontier , being used for bombing operations in the Third Anglo - Afghan war . DH . 10s were also used by 216 Squadron in Egypt , where they provided an air mail service between Cairo and Bagdhad , starting on 23 June 1921 . Manufacturers . Daimler were producing 80 a month by the end of 1918 . They were part of the BSA group which purchased Airco after the war and began a charter and scheduled service known as Daimler Air Hire and Daimler Airway . Apart from the Aircraft Manufactuting Companies order for 420 aircraft the following companies had sub - contracts to build the DH . 10 , although due to the end of the war not all were built :
