Armed Forces - a7a1 - British Army - Army Aviaiton - Summary - The Army Air Corps (AAC) - Army Air Corps Regimental ... The AAC battlefield helicopter fleet has accumulated a vast amount of operational experience in recent years, and is arguably a more capable force than that possessed by any other European nation. The AAC also provides support for Northern Ireland on a mixed resident and roulement basis and the two squadrons concerned are sometimes referred to as the seventh AAC Regiment, although the units would disperse on mobilisation and have no regimental title. AAC manpower is believed to number some 1,650 personnel of all ranks, including 480 officers and 1,400 soldiers. www.armedforces.co.uk /army/listings/l0051.html   (1295 words)

Skylighters, The Web Site of the 225th AAA Searchlight Battalion: The Skylighters and the Night Fighters -- The P-61 ... At this time, no other company was known to be working on night fighters, although at about this time Douglas was starting work on their XA-26A night fighter and the AAC were considering the A-20B as an interim night fighter. Since the gunner of these re-equipped Black Widows now had no guns that he could fire, he was sometimes left at home when these planes went out on operational missions, and many Black Widow operational missions carried only two crew members — the pilot and the radar operator. One of the primary missions of the Black Widow squadrons was the protection of B-29 bases on Saipan against night attacks, and these aircraft flew combat air patrols and interception missions. www.skylighters.org /night_fighters/p61info.html   (7866 words)

The Air Observation Post Squadrons Homepage Squadrons were to be RAF units, each one commanded by a gunner major (pilot) with an RAF adjutant. The Squadron fought throughout the North African campaign in 1942-43 where it amply proved the Air OP concept, often flying in the face of enemy air superiority. Their outstanding attribute was their ability to put a skilled artillery observer into the air at short notice, fully aware of the tactical situation and the needs of the troops on the ground and able to direct the fire of every gun within range, using artillery wireless nets. www.aaca.org.uk /aop.htm   (1202 words)

HistoryLink Essay:Boeing B-29 Superfortress Bomber -- A Snapshot History During January 1940 the AAC issued a specification for a very heavy bomber with these requirements: 400 mph speed, high altitude capability with pressurized crew compartment, 5,000+ mile range with bomb load, defensive armament, and tricycle landing gear. In order to attain the AAC desired top speed, Boeing proposed an aerodynamically clean, unarmed bomber, which would rely on its high speed and altitude capability as defense against enemy fighters. The AAC insisted on a fully armed pressurized bomber, which then led to remote controlled gun turrets, since open doors (resembling those on the B-17) were not compatible with pressurization. www.historylink.org /essays/printer_friendly/index.cfm?file_id=3828   (2113 words)

Notwithstanding the Salic law, when Francis II of Brittany died in 1488 without male issue, his daughter Anne of Brittany succeeded him and ruled as duchess of Brittany until her death in 1514. This law by no means was intended to cover all matters of inheritance — for example not inheritance of movables - only those lands considered "Salic" — and there is still debate as to the legal definition of this word, although it is generally accepted to refer to lands in the royal fisc. salic.law.en.pdahp.org   (3756 words)

The AAC insisted on a fully armed pressurized bomber, which then led to remote controlled gun turrets, as open doors (as on the B-17) were not compatible with pressurization.
