[edit] Junior McCain bio edit

I also added this

"In June 1943, McCain on his second patrol covered the East China and Yellow Seas. He was "fearlessly aggressive", sinking two ships (confirmed postwar by JANAC): Koyo Maru (6400 tons) and Tokiwa Maru (7000 tons). Yet the return of troubles from his H.O.R. diesels cut the patrol to only eleven days, after which he was compelled to return to Pearl Harbor.[2] a known tendency of Mark XVIIIs (and one which claimed Wahoo's younger sibling, Tang).

little doubt this attack fatally holed Wahoo, and she sank with all hands. Wahoo was announced overdue on 2 December 1943 and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 6 December 1943.

The loss of Morton and Wahoo caused profound shock in the submarine force. All further forays into the Sea of Japan ceased, and it was not again invaded until June 1945, when special mine detecting equipment was available for submarines.

         From http://www.geocities.com/amyjo1.geo/hatinthering.html :

When the 94th. Squadron, which was the first American Fighting Squadron to arrive on the Western Front

One of the pilots, Lt. Johnny Wentworth, happened to be an architect, and it fell to his lot to design, with the help of all others, this insigne

Because of it being used on a commercial product (Rickenbacker car) the Adjutant Genral instructed the 94th. Squadron of the Army Air Forces to discontinue its use, and the Indian Head (of the 103rd. Aero Squadron, which evolved from the famous Escadrille Lafayette in Feb. 1918 in France) subtituted as the Squadron emblem, since the 103rd. was not reconstituted as an active duty outfit in the States following WWI.

Within a Red circle in perspective, long axis vertical, Uncle Sam's top hat, upper portion, Blue background with White stars [pointing to dexter base]; middle portion, Red and White stripes; brim, White [pointing to sinister chief]; sweat band, Brown; inside of hat, Dark Blue. (Approved 15 Nov 1919 from World War I emblem [49003 A.C.]); canceled and replaced with emblem based on Lafayette Escadrille, 6 May 1924 (K 2813); original emblem reinstated 9 Jul 1942 (49003 A.C.) (from http://www.geocities.com/amyjo1.geo/hatinthering.html)

The F-5s used by DACT/Red Flag had a tiger's head on the fin (Weapons & Warfare, volume 8, p881)

Some USN F8C-4 Helldivers (with red tails) had black top hat on red ring outlined in black. (volume 8, p882)

Georg von Hantelman of Jasta 15 in WW1 flew a Fokker D.VII with lozenge-camo wings & white skull & crossbones. (volume 9, p979)

Maj. Jack Ilfrey and his P-51D Mustang "Happy Jack's Go Buggy" Kingscliffe, England -September,1944 9 Jul 1942 from 20th FG As a member of the 1st. Fighter Group Ilfrey flew P-38F-LO (USAAF s/n 41-7587 ),squadron code UN-O , which he named "Texas Terror" and in the 20th. Fighter Group, P-38J-15-LO (USAAF s/n 43-28431), squadron code MC-O, the famous "Happy Jack's Go Buggy." (from http://www.geocities.com/)

MARKINGS OF THE 1ST.FG - In 1943 the different squadrons began to apply specific colors to their tailbooms, wingtips and prop tips. The 27th.FS Used red,(Squadron Codes beginning with HV), the 71st.FS used White (Squadron Codes beginning with LM,)and the 94th.FS used yellow, (Squadron Codes beginning with UN.) When the Group began receiving P-38s in their natural aluminium finish, the 71st.FS changed their color to black. Red spinners were also introduced sometime in 1944. The national insignia was surrounded by a yellow circle during the time of the North Africa invasion. These were then removed and the "star and bar" was added with a red outline for a time in 1943. Thereafter the normal national insignia was used. (from http://www.geocities.com/)


[edit] Nose art text

From http://afhra.maxwell.af.mil/ Air Force Historical Research Agency, Maxwell AFB, Alabama

On 6 April 1917, America declared war on Germany, and, shortly thereafter, Brigadier General Benjamin D. Foulois became Chief of the Air Service, American Expeditionary Forces (AEF). A year later, on 6 May 1918, Foulois established the policy for insignia of aerial units, declaring that each squadron would have an official insignia painted on the middle of each side of the airplane fuselage. "The squadron will design their own insignia during the period of organizational training. The design must be submitted to the Chief of Air Service, AEF, for approval. The design should be simple enough to be recognizable from a distance." 3

From Wikipedia

Marine All Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 332 (VMFA(AW)-332) "Moonlighters" Marine Attack Squadron 332 (VMA-332) was re-commissioned on 23 April 1952 as part of 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing at MCAS Opa Locka, Florida flying the F6F Hellcat and later F4U Corsairs. During the Korean War, 332 was assigned a combat role operating from the USS Bairoko. It was at this time the famous polka-dots, hat, and cane originated. Replacing the VMF-312 "Checkerboards", who had a black and white checkerboard painted around the engine cowlings, VMA-332, somewhat mockingly, adopted the red polka-dots on white background.

From Wikipedia

The 94th Fighter Squadron has a long history and traditions that date back to World War I. The squadron was officially activated at Kelly Field, Texas, on 20 August 1917, as the 94th Aero Squadron. On 30 September 1917, two officers and 150 enlisted men left Texas for France and were sent to seven different aircraft factories for maintenance and repair training. In

    From:  http://www.humboldt1.com/~outcast26/Hist-Sumary.htm (accessed 11/12/06, 21.35 local)

The 39th Pursuit Squadron came into being (on paper) in late 1939. In early 1940 personnel were drawn from Eddie Rickenbacher's old "Hat in the Ring" 94th Pursuit Squadron of WW I fame and flight training started with Seversky P-35 "pursuit" planes. In early 1941 the 39th Squadron was chosen to receive the first Bell P-39 Airacobras rolling off of the assembly lines. By midsummer a Bell Company artist had designed and painted an attractive "Cobra in the Clouds" logo, which, with considerable difficulty, was passed through the Office Of Heraldry. With that bit of legislation the 39th Squadron had officially become "The Cobra Squadron".” Early in 1943 the 39th again distinguished itself in becoming the first American squadron to rack up 100 kills. Unit pride and esprit de corps was running very high when the squadron adopted the "sharks teeth" motif for their P-38s.

From: http://www.voicenet.com/~lpadilla/roosevelt.html Roosevelt and his three brothers had all been blooded in combat in the First World War. Youngest brother Quentin was killed in action as a fighter pilot with the 95th "Kicking Mule" Squadron (sister unit to Eddie Rickenbacker's famed 94th "Hat in the Ring" Squadron) in July 1918.

From: http://www.langley.af.mil/units/ the 27th Fighter Squadron, known as the Fighting Eagles; the 71st Fighter Squadron, known as the Ironmen; and the 94th Fighter Squadron, known as the Hat-in-the-Ring Gang.

crew. The U.S. Navy, by contrast, prohibited nose art.

The nature of the work varied from descriptive scripts, such as Charles Yeager 's "Glamorous The work was done by professional

In the postwar years, due to changes in military policies and changing attitudes toward representation of women, the amount of nose art went into decline before the Korean War, but continued to appear (John Glenn's F-86 "Mig Mad Marine", for instance). In the Navy, tail art began to become more and more elaborate, as demonstrated by VMA-332 "Moonlighters" or [SLUF]. Today, the bunny heads of [VF-#?] and skull & crossbones of [VF-#?] are famous.

Star System: 70 Virginis Discovery Status: Confirmed Mass: 6.6 Jupiters Average Distance: 0.43 AUs Minimum Distance: 0.31 AUs Maximum Distance: 0.74 AUs Period: 116.6 Days Orbital Eccentricity: 0.4 Argument of Perihelion (omega): 358° Average Temperature: 372 Kelvin Detection Method: Doppler Spectroscopy Discovered By: G.Marcy and P.Butler Year Discovered: 1996 above from: http://www.xtra.co.nz

The star may be less enriched (92 percent) than Sol with elements heavier than hydrogen ("metallicity"), based on its abundance of iron (J.B. Heanshaw, 1974). above from: http://www.solstation.com

The distance of an object (in parsecs) can be computed as the reciprocal of the parallax. For instance, the Hipparcos satellite measured the parallax of the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, as .77233 seconds of arc (±.00242"). Therefore, the distance is 1/0.772=1.29 parsecs or about 4.22 light years (±.01 ly).

The angles involved in these calculations are very small. For example, .772 arcseconds is roughly the angle subtended by an object about 2 centimeters in diameter (roughly the size of a U.S. Penny) located about 5.3 kilometers away.

[edit] Annapolis

The Annapolis-class were fifteen of fifty old United States Navy destroyers turned over to Britain in 1940. Their three after funnels were cut down, mainmast and aft TT removed, and 76mm diplaced the "Y" 102mm, reducing tophamper to accomodate ASW weapons and more depth charges for convoy escort. (In addition, Annapolis had her aft boiler and stack removed to allow to additional fuel oil stowagea as a long-range escort.) Only two of the class were lost, Brighton, to U-101 off Ireland on 18 October 1941, and Bath.

Annapolis, Columbia, Niagara, and St. Clair were turned over to RCN in 9/40. In 10/40, Hamilton collided with Georgetown, only to go aground shortly after repairs and return to drydock; RN then turned her over to RCN, entering service 6/41.

St. Albans (until 1943), Newport (until 1943), and Bath were operated by Free Norwegian Navy. Bath was torpedoed by U-204 off Ireland 19 August 1941.

The class was gradually phased out, their crews sent to new construction. Newport and Newmarket in 1942 and Annapolis and Newark in 1944 became aircraft targets, the others transferred to training duties or reserve beginning in 1943.

In July and August 1944, Georgetown, Roxburgh, and St. Albans were turned over to the Soviet Navy as Zhostky, Doblestni, and Dostoyni.

All the British ships were scrapped between 1945 and 1947, the Soviet vessels returned in 1949 and 1952 and similarly scrapped.

For the 1931 Fleet Replenishment Program, believing themselves understrength in cruisers, IJN chose to build to the maximum allowed by the Washington Treaty. This resulted in the choice of 155mm in five triple turrets (a first for Japan) for the Mogamis, also capable of 55° elevation, making Mogamis unique in having DP main battery; this was coupled with very heavy AA protection, as well as the standard reloadable turreted torpedo tubes, also unique to IJN.

To save weight, electric welding was used, as was aluminum in the superstructure. Weight compelled reduction to only ten boilers (compared to twelve in the previous Atago and Nachi classes), trunked into a single stack (which also saved tophamper). The new impulse geared turbines added 22000shp over Atago, increasing speed 1.5kt (2.8kph). Protection, however, was not stinted on; the class proved able to take substantial punishment.

The designers, however, had overreached; excessive topweight led to instability, and gunnery trials revealed cracking hull welds. Hull bulges were retrofitted to Mogami and Mikuma, and added to Kumano and Suzuya, increasing beam to 19.2m (63') and displacement to 11200 tons, cutting speed 2kt (3.7kph).

Beginning in 1939, the class was brought in for substantial reconstruction, converting the triple 155mm turrets to twin 203mm (8"), turning over the 155mm turrets to Yamato. Torpedo bulges were also added; in all, displacement rose to 12400 tons, speed dropping to 34.5kt (63.8kph).

All four attended at the Battle of Midway, where Mogami and Mikuma collided trying to avoid a submarine attack; Mikuma was finished off 6 June 1942 by Enterprise and Hornet aircraft. Mikuma limped home and spent ten months in yard, during which her afterparts were completely rebuilt, "X" and "Y" turrets replaced by a flight deck (with the intention to operate 11 aircraft).

The survivors were rejoined at the Battle of Leyte Gulf, all taking heavy damage. Mogami, heavily damaged by battleship gunfire <--from?!-->, was scuttled by Akebono, while Kumano stumbled into Manila harbor on one boiler, to be put out of her misery by Halsey's aviators on 25 November 1944; they mauled Suzuya the same day, and she was was scuttled by Okinami on 27 November.
