Libelle Of Englyshe Polycye
The ''Libelle of Englyshe Polycye'' (or ''Libel of English Policy'') is a fifteenth-century poem written in English. The work exists in two redactions: the first was composed after the siege of Calais in 1436 but before the end of 1438, and a second edition of the work before June 1441. This second edition was probably revised again. Nineteen manuscripts contain the ''Libelle'', which consists of about 1,100 lines in rhyming couplets, with a proem in rhyme-royal and a stanzaic envoi that differs between the poem's two editions. Overview The ''Libelle'' combines mercantilism with a jingoistic approach to England's neighbours. It recommends tight control of the British Sea and the Channel in particular to ensure prosperity and tranquility. Given England's waning fortunes in the Hundred Years War following Burgundy's alliance with France after the Treaty of Arras, the ''Libelle'' advocates a defence of the wool staple at Calais at any cost, besides "keeping" Wales and Ireland.

Project 131 Libelle Torpedo Boat
Project 131 Libelle Torpedo boat, also known as the Libelle Klasse (German, 'Dragonfly Class'), was a class of torpedo boats designed, build and used by the German Democratic Republic during the Cold War. Setup The Libelle class was based on a welded metal hull, housing a fuel tank and a total of three soviet M-50F4 diesel engines, one to the rear and two to the front. The hull also contained one 533-mm torpedo tube on each side. Project 131 carried no reloads for the torpedo tubes. The boats were designed for short ranges only and were meant to operate from floating bases (projects 62 and 162), anchored close to their area of operation. Each Project 131 boat had a small compartment in the bow to accommodate the crew for some time. On the deck, there was a pilothouse with four seats and an elevated seat in the center for the helmsman. On both sides of the pilothouse, removable ejectors for sea mines could be mounted. On the aft deck, a rear facing ZU-23-2 23 mm gun was m ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Operation Libelle
Operation Libelle ("Dragonfly" in German) was an evacuation operation of the German Armed Forces that took place on March 14, 1997 in the Albanian capital of Tirana during the Albanian Civil War. In the same week, American, British, and Italian military forces evacuated their citizens from Albania. Operation Libelle was the first time since World War II that German infantry fired shots in combat. Situation in Albania In early 1997, riots spread across Albania after the collapse of major pyramid schemes drove the country into a serious economic and social crisis, culminating in the Albanian Civil War. After army and police armories were looted by insurgents, criminals, and civilians, large parts of the country descended into chaos and violence. On March 11 all foreign nationals were instructed to leave Albania; Italian and U.S. forces conducted initial evacuation operations. By midday of March 13 the widespread disorder made leaving the country by conventional means nearly imposs ...

G-suit
A g-suit, or anti-''g'' suit, is a flight suit worn by aviators and astronauts who are subject to high levels of acceleration force ( g). It is designed to prevent a black-out and g-LOC (g-induced loss of consciousness) caused by the blood pooling in the lower part of the body when under acceleration, thus depriving the brain of blood. Black-out and g-LOC have caused a number of fatal aircraft accidents. Operation If blood is allowed to pool in the lower areas of the body, the brain will be deprived of blood. This lack of blood flow to the brain first causes a greyout (a dimming of the vision also called brownout), followed by tunnel vision and ultimately complete loss of vision 'blackout' followed by g-induced Loss Of Consciousness or 'g-LOC'. The danger of g-LOC to aircraft pilots is magnified because on relaxation of g-force there is a period of disorientation before full sensation is re-gained. A g-suit does not so much increase the g-threshold, but makes it possible to su ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Die Libelle
'' Die Libelle ''(''The Dragonfly'') Op. 204 is a polka-mazurka composed by Josef Strauss in 1866. Background Josef Strauss and his wife Caroline visited Traunstein and lake Traunsee in 1866.

Dornier Do 12
The Dornier Do 12 ''Libelle'' III ("Dragonfly III") was the third of a line of small German flying boats of the 1930s. It started with the Dornier A Libelle I and the Dornier A Libelle II, though the Do 12 was not a continuation, but an entirely new aircraft. The aircraft was amphibious and would carry three to four passengers. It was powered by a single Argus As 10 engine initially, then a Gnome-Rhône 5Ke Titan engine, mounted above the wing. It first flew in 1932 and went on to be used by the DFS to tow gliders. Design The Do 12 was a high-wing monoplane, of usual Dornier all-metal construction, with a two-spar, trapezoidal wing, whose trailing edge was very strongly rounded at the root. The fuselage was of rectangular cross-section. A storage area was in the nose, where equipment, including anchors, could be kept. Behind it, the open cockpit had two side-by-side seats, with optional dual controls. In the cabin, there were two more seats and a storage area, which could a ...
