ENP Bridge over Green River. The ENP Bridge over Green River is a historic bridge located near Daniel, Wyoming in the UNited States, which carries Sublette County Road CN23-145 across the Green River. The Western Bridge and Construction Company built the bridge circa 1905. The  bridge has two spans, both Pratt trusses; the longer span is a Pratt through truss, while the shorter is a Pratt pony truss. The use of both through and pony trusses in the same bridge was uncommon in Wyoming, and the bridge is the only surviving example of a Pratt truss bridge in this style.

The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 22, 1985. It was one of several bridges added to the NRHP for its role in the history of Wyoming bridge construction.

Blohm & Voss P 211. The Blohm & Voss P 211 was a design proposal submitted by Blohm & Voss to the Volksjäger jet fighter competition of the Luftwaffe Emergency Fighter Program towards the end of the Second World War.

History
During the latter part of 1944, when the High Command of the Luftwaffe saw that there was a dire need to put up a strong defense against the devastating allied bombing raids, on September 8 they asked aircraft manufacturers Messerschmitt, Arado, Focke-Wulf, Heinkel, Junkers and Blohm & Voss to propose designs for single-engined light fighters weighing no more than 2000 kg that would use one BMW 003 jet engine per unit.

Owing to the war-related scarcity of strategic materials such as aluminum, the jets were required to be simplified in order to be built using a strict minimum, as well as to be built in adequate quantities as quickly as possible in underground factories. Despite these requirements that would impinge on the overall quality of the new planes, their performance was required to surpass that of the best piston-engined fighters, being able to reach a maximum speed of 750 km/h with a minimum combat action time of 30 minutes.

Blohm & Voss submitted two preliminary designs, the P 210 tailless swept wing jet and the more conventional, tailed P 211. Only the P 211 was progressed further.

Variants

BV P 211.01 
Submitted alongside the tailless P 210 design, the P 211.01 also had a low swept wing but with a conventional tail. The single BMW 003A-1 engine was located amidships in the lower fuselage, with a tail boom extending above and behind it. Although it had good aerodynamic properties and was praised by officials, it did not go into production.

BV P 211.02 
The P 211.02 was similar to the P 211.01 but, since low cost and ease of manufacture were important, had a simpler straight, unswept wing. The wing was placed in the shoulder position, slightly below the top of the fuselage. The P 211.02 was designed by Richard Vogt and included wood in its construction. Parts of the plane were built, such as the steel air-intake/fuselage load-bearing structure for the single BMW 003A-1 engine. However, the P 211.02 didn't go past the project stage for the project was finally awarded to Heinkel whose He 162 Spatz went into mass-production.

William Morgan (architect). William Newton Morgan, Sr. (December 14, 1930 – January 18, 2016) was an American architect and author, based in Jacksonville, Florida. 

One of William Morgan's famous creations is the neo modern house in Ormond Beach, Florida. Built for the Root family, creators of the iconic Coca-Cola bottle and owners of the Coca-Cola Bottling, the building is a luxury oceanfront home.  It consists of two three-story concrete towers connected by two bridges.  It has marvelous metal, glass and stone walls.  Solid copper stairs, transparent brass mesh walls, and exotic wood showcase Morgan's modern architecture.
Morgan won a National Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) for this house. 

Morgan grew up in Jacksonville and graduated with a bachelor's degree from Harvard University before serving in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War. After the war, he returned to Harvard to study architecture. He studied in Italy on a Fulbright Scholarship (U.S.-Italy Fulbright Commission) and then returned to Jacksonville in 1961 to open his architecture practice in the city where he had grown up.

Three of his designs are included on the Florida Association of the American Institute of Architects list of Florida's top 100 buildings (The Williamson House in Ponte Vedra Beach; Morgan's residence in Atlantic Beach; and Dickinson Hall at the University of Florida, formerly the Museum of Natural History). He has written five books including his most recent, Earth Architecture (2008). In 2012 the University of Florida awarded Morgan an honorary doctor of arts degree as well as the first recipient of its School of Architecture's Lifetime Achievement Award. Morgan has been described as a pioneer of sustainable design.

Morgan's five books cover the architecture of pre-industrial cultures, including those in pre-Columbian North America and Micronesia. He died in Jacksonville after a long illness on January 18, 2016, aged 85.

Potez 220. The Potez 220 was a prototype French twin-engined, three-seat reconnaissance and army cooperation aircraft. Two examples were built in 1939, but no production followed.

Design and development
On 6 February 1937, the French air ministry issued specification A.24 for a three-seat reconnaissance and army-cooperation aircraft. To meet this requirement, the nationalised Société Nationale de Constructions Aéronautiques du Nord (SNCAN), formed in January 1937 from ANF Les Mureaux, Potez, Chantiers Aéro-Maritimes de la Seine and parts of Breguet and Amiot, gave the task to the design team inherited from Les Mureaux. Their design, the Potez 220 was a twin-engined monoplane of all-metal construction. The fuselage was an oval-section monocoque, which accommodated the aircraft's crew of three, consisting of a pilot, a radio operator gunner and an observer, with a glazed gondola slung under the fuselage provided for the observer. It was powered by two  Gnome-Rhône 14M radial engines driving three-bladed propellers, which were fed from fuel tanks located within the wing. A retractable tailwheel undercarriage was fitted.

The first prototype made its maiden flight at Sartrouville on 7 April 1939, with the second prototype following on 20 October that year. Performance was slightly better than the Potez 63.11, which had recently entered production in the reconnaissance role, while orders had also been placed for the much more powerful and better-performing Bloch 174 and Martin 167F aircraft to meet the same requirement as the Potez 220. Development of the type was therefore abandoned.

Arthur Ernest Hagg. Arthur Ernest Hagg (1888 – 21  January 1985) was a British aircraft and boat designer.

He was born in Brighton and educated in Bournemouth. He started work for Airco in 1915, aged 27,  and worked as a draftsman on the DH4 in 1916. He transferred to the de Havilland Aircraft company (Stag Lane) when it was created in 1920.

At de Havilland he invented the differential ailerons used on the Tiger Moth and other de Havilland aircraft eventually becoming chief designer. In this role he was responsible for the designs of the DH88 Comet racer and of the Albatross and the Express airliners.

Hagg became interested in boat building and in early 1937 he resigned his position as director and chief designer at de Havilland to set up the Walton Yacht Works. In November of that year he also became a consultant with D Napier and Son, Ltd., overseeing Heston's design team for the Napier-Heston Racer, a wooden  aircraft powered by a  Napier Sabre engine and designed to break the world airspeed record. In January 1943 he joined Airspeed Ltd. as technical director and was responsible for the Airspeed Ambassador (BEA Elizabethan). He retired in 1947.

Awase Airfield. Awase Airfield or NAB Awase is a former World War II airfield on the Pacific coast of Okinawa.

History

World War II
The Awase area was captured during the first week of the Battle of Okinawa and was surveyed for possible airbase construction in late April 1945.  Two Naval Construction Battalions commenced construction of a 5000 ft fighter airstrip on April 23, the 34th and 36th CBs.  Along with the airfield the African American Seabees of the 34th constructed a JCC(Joint Communications Center) Radio Transmitter Station.  Construction of the airfield was delayed by torrential rains late May into June so the heavy earth-moving equipment was diverted to the maintenance and upgrading of the island's roadways.  On 30 June 1945 the base was declared operational and the first aircraft from Marine Air Group 33 (MAG-33) landed at the airfield.

Marine Aircraft Group 14 (MAG-14) comprising VMF-212, VMF-222 and VMF-223 all operating F4Us were based at Awase from July until September 1945.

VMF-312 operating F4Us was based at Awase from July to November 1945.

VMA-322 operating F4Us was based at Awase from July to November 1945.

VMF-323 operating F4Us transferred to Awase from Kadena on 15 July and remained there until the end of the war.

VMF(N)-543 operating F6F-3Ns night-fighters transferred to Awase from Kadena Airfield in July and remained there until the end of the war.

VMB-612's PBJ-1Ds were transferred to Awase in November 1945 when the unit was disestablished.

Postwar
In 1950 the US Navy upgraded and the US Air Force constructed communications facilities on the base. 
By March 1977 all of the airfield area had been returned to Japanese control other than the 0.552 km2 Awase Communication Station at the tip of the Awase peninsula. This base is responsible for communications with the United States Seventh Fleet, and all radio transmission of the U.S. Naval Forces in Okinawa.  The station was upgraded by Mobile Construction Battalion 7.
