		However, German sources begin the battle in mid-August 1940 and end it in May 1941, on the withdrawal of the bomber units in preparation for the attack on Russia.
		In the early phases of the battle the RAF was hamstrung by its reliance on obsolete fighting drills.
		The RAF roll of honour for the Battle of Britain recognises[2] 510 overseas pilots as flying at least one authorised operational sortie with an eligible unit of the Royal Air Force or Fleet Air Arm during the period 10 July to 31 October 1940.

		German historians begin the battle in mid-August 1940 and end it in May 1941, on the withdrawal of the bomber units in preparation for Operation Barbarossa, the attack on the USSR.
		The Battle of Britain culminated on September 15, 1940 with two massive waves of German attacks that were decisively repulsed by the RAF.
		Winston Churchill summed up the effect of the battle, its place in history, and the contribution of the RAF in the immortal words: "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few" (speech to the House of Commons on August 20 1940).

	Battle of the beams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of the Beams was a period in early World War II when Luftwaffe bombers started using radio navigation for night bombing.
		In addition the beams of Lorenz were deliberately set wide enough that they could be easily picked up at some distance from the runway centerline, but this meant their accuracy at long ranges was fairly limited.
		The two beams could be pointed to cross over the target, and the bombers would fly into the beam of one and ride it until they started hearing the tones from the other (in a second radio).

		Although there was a strand of British public and political sentiment that favored a negotiated peace with a clearly ascendant Germany, the recently-installed British Prime Minister Winston Churchill steadfastly refused to consider an armistice with the Nazis.
		This squadron would later be re-numbered as the RCAF's 401 "City of Westmount" Squadron, in line with the RAF's policy of numbering Dominion units flying with the RAF in the 400-series to avoid confusion with similarly-numbered RAF units (this numbering system is still used by Canadian air squadrons to honour their World War II contributions).
		The RAF's official "Battle of Britain Roll of Honour" recognises 1 Palestinian as having fought in the Battle of Britain: Pilot Officer George Ernest Goodman (42598) served with 1 squadron RAF.

	Proton Beams Battle Cancer
		Proton beams -- produced by particle accelerators called cyclotrons or synchrotrons -- have produced better results than conventional radiation treatment against advanced cancers of the prostate, bone and eye, researchers told the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.
		"In contrast, the photon beams, used in standard radiation therapy, lose their energy as they pass through the body, so that the dose is maximum near the surface and decreases through the entire thickness of the body," he said.
		Proton beam treatment of a type of cancer that attacks the base of the skull was effective for 92% of 180 patients, compared to about half of patients treated with standard radiation therapy, according to doctors at three Massachusetts facilities.

	radio range Information - how do i extend the range on my two way radio
		Planes would fly into the beams by listening what is the range on a cb radio to the signal to identify which frs radio range side of middle they were on, and then long range shortwave transmitting radio corrected until they were in the center.
		The system was highly accurate and a battle of the beams broke out when United Kingdom intelligence services long range radio attempted, and then succeeded, in rendering the system useless.
		The next major advance in radio frequency ranges "beam based" navigation system was the use two signals that varied not in sound, but in phase.

		A bomber would fly up one beam staying on track by listening for dots or dashes emerging from the continuous tone, and drop bombs when the second beam was detected, which was apparently transmitted on a different frequency within the operating band.
		As a bomber approached the target, it intercepted a beam from a transmitter in the Pas de Calais, codenamed RHEIN.
		By May, with the withdrawal of the Luftwaffe for the attack on Russia, the the Blitz and the "Battle of the Beams", as it would be called, were over.

	THE BATTLE OF LOS ANGELES
		The story of the Battle of Los Angeles near the start of WWII as told by newspapers and witnesses from several sources follows the photo analysis.
		The fact that the beams basically do not get past the "object" (there is some faint evidence of beams above the object), whatever was at the beam convergence must have been optically quite dense.
		Hence the horizontal width of the beam, W,(not perpendicular to the beam axis) would be W = D/sin(angle of elevation) = D/sin(30) = 2D for the assumed 30 degree elevation angle.

		The ion beam began to discharge as attempted covering fire, but the turret was ripped apart in a second by a double barrage of heavy railgun shells.
		The ion beams from the Avatars swept across the marred and newly mangled hull, carving it up even more as the turreted flak cannons tore apart a wave of newly deployed Kudaark bombers who were attempting to fire a few shots from their plasma bomb launchers even as they popped in small groups.
		An ion beam from one of the Avatars had carved a massive rent in the Skaal Tel’s hull along the battered midline, and Nejad swore that he could see the struggling bodies of Taiidani crew members as they were sucked out into the void.

		It is possible that your ship appears undamaged when in fact it has 1% damage, hence the initially discharged beams and tubes in battle.
		Similarly, if you are using the wrong universe, a red alert will occur when you beam things on or off the planet, since PHOST will wonder how it is that things can move from one place (the planet) to a different place (your ship).

		Hardwire may be used on the sides of beams and girders to supply additional shear strength or wrapped around columns and beam/column joints to provide confinement and enhanced ductility for greater flexural strength.
		It may be applied as well on structural-steel components to increase their tension and bending capacity.
		Further, Hardwire has passed initial ballistics tests that require a multi-hit of 762-caliber steel jacketed rounds in a tight geometry at a material cost that is a small fraction of the current offering and nearly half as light as steel armor.

		Battle of the Beams - During early 1940 the Luftwaffe was having amazing success in pinpointing targets during its bombing raids.
		The RAF was unable to identify how the Germans were able to hit their targets until a downed enemy bomber was found to contain an unusual electronic fl box.
		After scientists examined the box, the technological battle for bombing and protection from bombing became a race to outwit each other in code breaking and counter intelligence.
