  Biography: Carl Gustav Von-Rosen- 20th Century Knight - European History - Helium - by Edward Keazor
Count Carl Gustav Von Rosen was born in Sweden in 1909 and rather notoriously was Herman Goering's nephew (his aunt was married to Goering).
Von Rosen, then came over to England and tried to join the RAF, but was rejected on account of his relationship to Goering (and probably on account of his having fought with the Finns, who were for a time allies of the Nazis).
Von Rosen was famed for his meticulous planning/timing of the raids which were always carried out with maximum effect and with the minimum of loss of life (on both sides) being that the attacks were focused on ground based targets.

Von Rosen and his men naturally wanted to make the most of the confusion their appearance had generated within the NAF.

eXile’s War Nerd wrote a fascinating column about Count Carl Gustav von Rosen, a Swedish aristocrat that led a flight of hand-painted Cessnas into battle against MiG-17—okay, the jets were on the ground—and other military targets in the Biafra conflict in Nigeria.
Way back in 1938, when he was just a kid, he volunteered to fly for the Finns in their ultra-cool, hopeless fight against the Red Army.
The Finns had no bombers so von Rosen just grabbed a civilian airliner, loaded it up with bombs and dropped them on the Reds from the passenger doors.

Och över detta basade greve von Rosen och ett gäng andra svenskar.
Fast von Rosen blev naturligtvis mycket mer berömd senare när han byggde upp det kortvariga Biafras flygvapen, med liknande små skolflygplan, och sedan slog ut sovjetiska mäktiga MiG-plan i fiendelandet Nigeria (som The War Nerd beskrivit roligt).

 The quantum leap
However, in 1859, Gustav Robert Kirchhoff showed that the ratio of emissivity to absorptivity of a body is independent of its nature and is thus a universal function, which is the same for all bodies.
Using the same hypothesis regarding the energy of the elementary oscillators as in the derivation of Planck's radiation law, Einstein provided, using the quantum hypothesis, the first model for the specific heat of solids that was in broad agreement with the experimental data.
Einstein, together with Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen, was more fruitful with his observation in 1935 that in quantum mechanics two particles could be created in a combined state, an `entangled state', that could never be separated into the sum of two single particle states.
