Douglas O - 2 The Douglas O - 2 is a 1920s American observation aircraft built by the Douglas Aircraft Company . Development . The important family of Douglas observation aircraft sprang from two XO - 2 prototypes , the first of which was powered by the 420 hp ( 313 kW ) Liberty V - 1650 - 1 V - engine and test - flown in the autumn of 1924 . The second XO - 2 was powered by the 510 hp ( 380 kW ) Packard 1A - 1500 Vee engine , which proved unreliable . The US Army ordered 45 O - 2 production aircraft in 1925 , these retaining the XO - 2 ' s welded steel tube fuselage , wooden wings and overall fabric covering but at the same time introducing aluminium panels on the forward fuselage . The XO - 2 had been flown with short and long - span wings , the latter giving improved handling and therefore being specified for the production aircraft . The fixed tailskid landing gear included a main unit of the divided type , the horizontal tail surface was strut braced , and the engine was cooled by a tunnel radiator . The O - 2 proved to be a conventional but very reliable biplane which soon attracted orders for 25 more aircraft : 18 O - 2A machines equipped for night flying and six O - 2B dual - control command aircraft for the US Army , plus one civil O - 2BS modified specially for James McKee , who made a remarkable solo transCanada flight in September 1926 . In 1927 the O - 2BS was adapted as a threeseater with a radial engine . The O - 2Hs were an entirely new design but continued the same basic model number . Major differences were heavily staggered wings , a more compact engine installation , and clean landing gear secured to the fuselage . Up to 2011 there were no O - 2 ' s known to exist . However in 2011 the wreckage of O - 2H 29 - 163 that crashed out of Kelly Field Texas on March 16 , 1933 has been positively identified . The rear and central / forward portion of the fuselage behind the firewall , wing attachments and landing gear parts , tailplane and many engine parts and eight of the twelve pistons are now recovered . Research is continuing on this aircraft . It is known it was flown by Aviation Cadet Charles D . Rogers on a night recon advanced training mission . Apparently flying low , the aircraft hit a hill and burned after the crash leaving only the found wreckage today . Weather was not considered a contributing factor . Cadet Rogers was instantly killed in the crash by the impact . His body was recovered but the wreckage was abandoned due to the airframe and engine both being a write - off . The only similar aircraft known to exist are a restored Douglas M - 2 mailplane and a follow - on derivative of the O - 25 variant , an O - 38 .
Capture of Fez The Capture of Fez occurred in 1576 at the Moroccan city of Fez , when an Ottoman Empire force from Algiers supported Abd al - Malek in gaining the throne of Morocco against his nephew and rival claimant Mulay Muhammed . About 10 , 000 Ottoman soldiers participated to the campaign . This campaign followed a short - lived Ottoman capture of Fez in 1554 . Abd al - Malek won over his rival at the battle of ar - Rukn , also er - Roken . Mulay Muhammed fled to Marrakesh and would continue resisting Abd al - Malek for a long time . Abd al - Malek entered Fez victoriously in March 1576 . Abd al - Malek recognized the Ottoman sultan Murad III as his Caliph , and reorganized his army on Ottoman lines and adopted Ottoman customs , but negotiated for the Ottoman troops to leave his country , in exchange for a large payment in gold . Meanwhile , Mulay Muhammed fled to Spain and then Portugal , when Sebastian of Portugal promised to help him regain his throne . This led to an expedition and the Battle of Ksar El Kebir in 1578 , also known as the Battle of Three Kings which was a considerable defeat for the Portuguese and having lost their childless monarch Portugal passed into the hands of Spanish throne . Abdel Malik was probably poisoned and it was Abdel Malik ' s younger brother Ahmad Al - Mansour who assumed control of the Saadian state of Morocco . These events left the Ottomans in a very strong position in the Maghreb , becoming a direct threat the Spanish heartland .
Tunisian independence The processes of the Tunisian Independence occurred from 1952 to 1956 between France and an independentist movement under Habib Bourguiba . Bourguiba became the first President of the new nation after negotiations with France that led to the independence . The way to Tunisian independence . The first independence movement was formed by The Young Tunisian Party in 1907 . By 1920 , the Destour , a Tunisian political party , had formed a powerful base that was supported by the Bey . Their following lasted until 1934 , when Neo Destour was formed , and brought about by a new generation of young nationalists striving for independence . With a new energized independence movement , the stage was set for a new leader , Habib Bourguiba . With the threat of independence , the French immediately banned Neo Destour and sent Bourguiba to a variety of French prisons in France where he spent the next 20 years of his life . World War II brought about a halt in Tunisia ’ s bid for independence , but helped win Bourguiba a transfer from a French prison to an Axis one in Rome . The Nazis attempted to pressure Bourguiba into helping the Axis powers with his influence over the Tunisian independence fighters in pushing back the Allied invasion of North Africa . He refused and was released from prison in 1943 when the Nazi campaign was finally defeated at El Alamein in Egypt . Upon his return to Tunisia , Bourguiba proposed a concept of gradual independence to free Tunisia from the French which was supported by fellow Tunisians . As a means of forcing the French to leave , the Neo Destour returned to planting bombs and committing terrorist attacks on colonial facilities . As a result , from 1952 to 1954 , Bourguiba was imprisoned for the attacks , further fueling the fire between Tunisian Independence and French Rule . In June 1954 , new French Prime Minister Pierre Mendès France came to power and immediately instituted a withdrawal policy from Tunisia to lessen the violent backlashes occurring in the colonies . France still retained control of Tunisia ’ s foreign affairs , and gradually the nations returned to the same arrangement of 1881 . By November 1955 , France granted Morocco independence ; which helped pave the way for Tunisia ’ s independence . March 20 , 1956 , Tunisia achieved independence from France proposed by Habib Bourguiba . France , Tunisia , and Western Powers remained in good relations , and maintain significant economic and cultural links to this day .
Tachikawa Ki - 94 The term Tachikawa Ki - 94 refers to two designs of the Tachikawa Hikoki K . K . aircraft factory . Design and development . The first was a twin - boom monoplane with two 1 , 641 kW ( 2 , 200 hp ) Mitsubishi Ha - 211 18 cylinder engines , driving two 4 - blade propellors in a push - pull configuration . The very heavy armament that should have been mounted on the aircraft ( two 37 mm / 1 . 46 in and two 30 mm / 1 . 18 in cannon s , should have been enough to make short work of most US heavy bomber s of the era . Notwithstanding the outstanding prospective performance , which however was judged as " unduly optimistic " by the technical department of the Japanese Army Air Force , this design was judged too complex by the technical department and the design was discarded . The second Ki - 94 design , made by a team under Tatsuo Hasegawa , chief designer of the aircraft and responsible for the used airfoil , was a more conventional single - seat , piston - engine monoplane fighter , developed for the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force along the same requirements as the Nakajima Ki - 87 , which had been the Army ' s fall - back design for the original Ki - 94 . Intended to counter B - 29 raids , it was optimized for high - altitude interception with a pressurized cockpit and heavy armament . This design was approved by the Koku Hombu , and the aircraft was designated Ki - 94 - II ( the scrapped earlier Ki - 94 design was named the Ki - 94 - I ) . An order was placed for one static test airframe , three prototypes , and eighteen pre - production aircraft . Only 2 prototypes were built in the event ; the first was equipped with a single Nakajima Ha - 44 engine , driving a 4 - blade propeller because the 6 - blade one was not ready . The second prototype was to be fitted with a 6 - blade propeller . The war ' s end however stopped the construction of the second prototype and also found the first prototype still being readied for its maiden flight ; the Ki - 94 - II never taking to the air .

Battle of Krasnobród The Battle of Krasnobród took place on 23 September 1939 near the town of Krasnobród . It was fought between the forces of the Polish Army and the German Wehrmacht during the Invasion of Poland . It was one of the last battles in European warfare in which cavalry was used on both sides . At approximately 7AM a group of Polish cavalry of the Nowogródek Cavalry Brigade left the forests halfway between Zamość and Tomaszów Lubelski . The 25th Greater Polish Uhlan s Regiment under Col . Bogdan Stachlewski formed the front guard of the formation and was entrusted with recapturing the pivotal town of Krasnobród . The German 8th Infantry Division fortified the town located on a hill with two lines of trenches . In order to minimize the effect of enemy numerical superiority , the Polish commander split his forces in two and ordered a cavalry charge , with each of the squadrons charging separately at a different sector of the front . The German forces were caught completely by surprise and the first squadron successfully broke through their positions , while the German infantry started a chaotic retreat towards the centre of the town , followed by the Polish cavalry using sabres and lances . The second squadron under Lt . Tadeusz Gerlecki joined the charge towards the hill . A unit of organic cavalry from the German 8th Infantry Division counter - charged from the hill , but was repelled in what was one of the last cavalry battles in World War II . The Polish units started a pursuit after the fleeing enemy and entered the city . Although the Poles suffered heavy losses due to machine gun fire ( with Gerlecki ' s squadron losing all but 30 men ) , the town was retaken and the Poles took the headquarters of the division , together with about 100 German soldiers ( including the commanding officer : General Rudolf Koch - Erpach ) . Forty Polish combatants previously taken prisoner by the Germans were freed .

SS Conte di Savoia SS " Conte di Savoia " ( " Count of Savoy " ) was an Italian ocean liner built in 1932 at the Cantieri Riuniti dell ' Adriatico , Trieste . " Conte di Savoia " was originally ordered for the Lloyd Sabaudo line , however , after a merger with the Navigazione Generale Italiana , the ship was completed for the newly formed Italia Flotte Riunite . The new Italia Line also controlled the , a similar though slightly larger ship completed just two months before " Conte di Savoia " . The " Conte di Savoia " was more modern in decoration and appearance than the " Rex " , and was considered to be an exceptionally beautiful ship . She was the first liner fitted with gyroscopic stabilizers . History . In November 1932 she made her maiden voyage to New York . The voyage almost became a disaster when an outlet valve jammed and blew a large hole below the waterline . The ship completed her maiden voyage thanks to crew member Gennaro Amatruda who plugged a leak in a broken valve - port saving the ship from possible disaster . The " Conte di Savoia " never held the Blue Riband for fastest Atlantic crossing , although on one attempt she did average just slower than the Blue Riband holder " Rex " . " Conte di Savoia " had one unusual feature designed to increase passenger numbers . Three huge anti - rolling gyro scopes were fitted low down in a forward hold . These rotated at high revolutions and were designed to eliminate rolling - a persistent problem on the rough North Atlantic crossing that affected all shipping lines . In practice they reduced the rolling by slowing down the rolling period , however , they also caused the vessel to " hang " annoyingly when the vessel was on the extreme limit of her rolls . For safety reasons the system was quickly abandoned on eastbound crossings where the prevailing weather produced following seas , although it was still used on westbound crossings . This was because with a following sea ( and the deep slow rolls this generated ) the vessel tended to ' hang ' with the system turned on , and the inertia it generated made it harder for the vessel to right herself from heavy rolls . None of this ever affected the operation of the shipping lines advertising department and the benefits of a " smooth crossing " were heavily promoted during the life of the ship . During troop service in World War II , " Conte di Savoia " was set on fire and sunk by retreating German forces on 11 September 1943 . She was re - floated in 1945 , but eventually scrapped .
HMS K1 HMS " K1 " was a First World War steam turbine - propelled K - class submarine of the Royal Navy . She was sunk to prevent her from being captured following a collision with off the Danish coast . She had been patrolling on the surface as part of a flotilla of submarines operating in line ahead . The flotilla was led by the light cruiser , followed by " K1 " , , " K4 " , and . " Blonde " turned sharply to avoid three cruisers which crossed her bows from starboard to port , which caused confusion amongst the following submarines and in the manoeuvring seawater poured into the boiler room through the funnels and put the boiler fires out ( a common problem in " K " - class submarines ) . The loss of steam pressure caused the submarine to slow down and although " K3 " just missed her , " K1 " struck a blow alongside the conning tower which pierced the hull . Seawater poured into the control room and reached the batteries under the floor causing chlorine gas to be produced . The damaged submarine signalled to " Blonde " that she was sinking and the 56 crew of the submarine were transferred to the cruiser using the cruiser ' s two cutter s . It was decided that " K1 " could not be saved and so she was sunk by gunfire from the cruiser .
Cruiser Act The Cruiser Act is a United States federal law passed by the U . S . Congress on February 13 , 1929 . It authorized the construction of 20 new United States Navy ships : 19 cruiser s and 1 aircraft carrier . Two " Portland " - class cruiser s were laid down in 1930 ; original plans called for a class of six , but four were later altered into " New Orleans " - class cruiser s shortly after being laid down in 1930 & 1931 . Three more " New Orleans " - class were also laid down , in 1931 , 1933 and 1934 . The carrier was the USS " Ranger " ( CV - 4 ) , laid down in 1931 . This gives a total of ten ships constructed under the Act , far short of the twenty authorized . Several factors could have affected construction ; among them , the London Naval Conference in 1930 . The most likely explanation for the delays , however , was the strict government economies related to the Great Depression ; it is notable that in 1932 - 4 , new construction almost stagnated . With the New Deal , and a willingness to spend money , this slowly turned around ; the National Industrial Recovery Act of June 1933 was used to authorise the completion of various vessels , and following this the last two " New Orleans " - class were laid down . In 1934 , a new naval construction bill , the Vinson - Trammell Act was passed , providing a systematic program of ship replacement for the Navy throughout the decade and superseding the remnants of the Cruiser Act plans .
Westinghouse J32 The Westinghouse J32 was a small turbojet engine developed by the Westinghouse Aviation Gas Turbine Division in the mid - 1940s . Design and development . Development of the 9 . 5A ( military designation J32 - WE - 2 ) began in late 1942 , and Westinghouse delivered the first engine to the U . S . Navy in mid - 1944 . The Navy selected the 9 . 5A to power the Gorgon II - B and III - B air - to - air missiles , but these applications did not materialize . " An improved version , the 9 . 5B , powered the Martin TD2N - 1 Gorgon high - speed target drone , which successfully flew in 1945 . The engine ' s high cost and continuing development delays led to the cancellation of the TD2N - 1 program in 1946 . Westinghouse manufactured 24 of the 9 . 5A and 20 of the 9 . 5B engines . Despite their limited use , they constituted the first family of small turbojet engines successfully developed and produced in the United States . Engines on display . A cutaway Westinghouse 9 . 5A / J32 turbojet engine is on display at the Steven F . Udvar - Hazy Center in Washington D . C .
USS Seaman ( DD - 791 ) USS " Seaman " ( DD - 791 ) was a of the United States Navy , named for Lieutenant Commander Allen L . Seaman ( 1916 – 1944 ) , a naval aviator who was awarded two Navy Cross es for service in the Pacific War . " Seaman " was laid down on 10 July 1945 by the Seattle - Tacoma Shipbuilding Corporation , Seattle , Washington ; launched on 29 May 1946 ; sponsored by Mrs . Barbara K . Seaman , widow of Lt . Comdr . Seaman ; and delivered , partially complete , on 25 June 1946 to the officer - in - charge of demobilized shipping for the 13th Naval District . Never commissioned , the destroyer was subsequently placed in the Bremerton Group of the Pacific Reserve Fleet , where she remained until struck from the Navy list on 1 March 1961 . Her hulk was sold to the First Steel and Ship Corp . , New York , on 12 September 1961 , and was delivered to the Learner Co . , Alameda , California , on 22 September 1961 for scrapping .
