May 19th Communist Organization
The May 19th Communist Organization (also variously referred to as the May 19 Coalition, May 19 Communist Coalition or M19CO) was a US-based far-left group formed by members of the Weather Underground Organization. The group was originally known as the New York chapter of the Prairie Fire Organizing Committee (PFOC), an organization devoted to promoting the causes of the Weather Underground legally, as part of the Prairie Fire Manifesto's change in Weather Underground Organization strategy, which demanded both aboveground mass movements and clandestine organizations. The role of the clandestine organization would be to build the "consciousness of action" and prepare the way for the development of a people's militia. Concurrently, the role of the mass movement, the above-ground Prairie Fire Collective, would include the support for and the encouragement of armed action. Such an alliance would, according to Weather, "help create the 'sea' for the guerrillas to swim in." The M19 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

M19 Tank Transporter
The M19 tank transporter ( US supply catalog designation G159) was a heavy tank transporter system used in World War II and into the 1950s. It consisted of a 12-ton 6×4 M20 Diamond T model 980 truck and companion 12-wheel M9 trailer. Over 5,000 were produced, and employed by Allied armies throughout all theaters of war. It was superseded in the U.S. military by the M25 tank transporter during the war, but usefully redeployed in other tasks. It was superseded by the Thornycroft Antar in British service by the early 1950s, though a few remained operational in units through 1971. History Designed as a heavy prime mover for tank transporting, the hard-cab Diamond T 980 was the product of the Diamond T Company in Chicago. In 1940 the British Purchasing Commission, looking to equip the British Army with a vehicle capable of transporting larger and heavier tanks, approached a number of American truck manufacturers to assess their models. The Diamond T Company had a long history of bui ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
M19 Mortar
The M19 Mortar is a light, smoothbore, muzzle-loading, high-angle-of-fire weapon for light infantry support developed and produced in the United States. It has been replaced in service by the more modern 60 mm M224 mortar, which has a much longer range and improved ammunition. History and description The development of the M19 began in 1942 as the T18E6, a light weapon weighing only and intended to be man-carried troops in rough terrain and quickly brought into action against enemy positions. The primary differences between the M2 and T18E6 was that the M2 was drop-fire only (the bomb being fired by a fixed firing pin at the base of the tube), while the T18E6 could be either drop-fired or a round loaded into the barrel and then fired by a lever-like trigger at the base of the tube. In addition, the original T18E6 only had a simple spade-like M1 baseplate, leaving the elevation and traverse free for the firer like the Japanese Type 89 grenade discharger or British Two-in ...

Fokker D
Fokker (; ) was a Dutch aircraft manufacturer that operated from 1912 to 1996. The company was founded by the Dutch aviator Anthony Fokker and became famous during World War I for its fighter aircraft. During its most successful period in the 1920s and 1930s, Fokker dominated the civil aviation market. The company's fortunes declined over the course of the late 20th century; it declared bankruptcy in 1996, and its operations were sold to competitors. History Fokker in Germany At age 20, while studying in Germany, Anthony Fokker built his initial aircraft, the ''Spin'' (Spider)—the first Dutch-built plane to fly in his home country. Taking advantage of better opportunities in Germany, he moved to Berlin, where in 1912, he founded his first company, Fokker Aeroplanbau, later moving to the Görries suburb just southwest of Schwerin (at ), where the current company was founded, as Fokker Aviatik GmbH, on 12 February 1912. World War I Fokker capitalized on having sold several ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mk 19 Grenade Launcher
The Mk 19 grenade launcher (pronounced Mark 19) is an American 40 mm belt-fed automatic grenade launcher that was first developed during the Vietnam War. Overview The Mk 19 is a belt-fed, blowback-operated, air-cooled, crew-served, fully-automatic weapon that is designed not to cook off. It fires 40 mm grenades at a cyclic rate of 325 to 375 rounds per minute, giving a practical rate of fire of 60 rounds per minute (rapid) and 40 rounds per minute (sustained). The weapon operates on the blowback principle, which uses the chamber pressure from each fired round to load and re-cock the weapon. The Mk 19 can launch its grenade at a maximum distance of , though its effective range to a point target is about , since the large rear leaf sight is only graduated as far. The nearest safe distance to launch the grenade is 310 meters in training and 75 meters in combat. Though the Mk 19 has a flash suppressor, it serves only to save the eyesight of its ope ...

Smith & Wesson Model 19
The Smith & Wesson Model 19 is a revolver produced by Smith & Wesson that was introduced in 1957 on its K-frame. The Model 19 is chambered for .357 Magnum. The K-frame is somewhat smaller and lighter than the original N-frame .357, usually known as the Smith & Wesson Model 27. A stainless steel variant of the Model 19, the Smith & Wesson Model 66, was introduced in 1971. History The .357 Magnum is the oldest "magnum" handgun cartridge. Smith & Wesson played a major part in the development and success of the cartridge and revolver that went with it. Firearms writer and experimenter Philip Sharpe is credited for its development during the 1930s when police agencies were asking for a more powerful round. S&W's Douglas B. Wesson agreed to produce a new revolver that would handle "high-intensity" .38 Special loads, but only if Winchester Repeating Arms Company, Winchester would develop a new cartridge. Elmer Keith, a well known author and wildcatter at the time, was experimenting with h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
M19 Mine
The M19 is a large square plastic cased United States anti-tank blast mine. Intended to replace the M15 mine, the design dates from the mid-1960s and contains only two metal components: the copper detonator capsule and a stainless steel firing pin which weighs 2.86 grams. It is a minimum metal mine, which makes it very difficult to detect after it has been emplaced. This mine is produced under licence in Chile, South Korea and Turkey. A copy is produced in Iran. It is found in Afghanistan, Angola, Chad, Chile, Cyprus, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, South Korea, Lebanon, the Western Sahara, and Zambia. U.S. stocks of the mine were approximately 74,000 before the 1990 Gulf War and had fallen to 63,000 by 2002.http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d021003.pdf An inert version of the mine intended for training purposes (called the M80) is also produced. Description The plastic casing of the mine is usually dark olive green, and has a large central fuze well. Normally it has a carrying handle on one ...

M19 (Port Elizabeth)
The M19 (sometimes referred to as the R367) is a metropolitan route in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality in South Africa that connects Swartkops with Uitenhage via Despatch. Route The route begins at a junction with the R102 (Grahamstown Road) in Swartkops and runs in a north-westerly direction as Trunk Road and bypasses Swartkops to the south. It intersects with the M17 route (Dibanisa Road) and continues in a west-north-westerly direction. It then runs on the outskirts of the metropole, through Redhouse and Perseverance (where it meets the M14 route) and after a few kilometres, it intersects with the R75 freeway (to Gqeberha and Uitenhage) at an interchange south-east of Despatch Central, just south-west of the Azalea Park suburb. At that interchange, they switch roads, with the R75 becoming the road westwards (a dual carriageway) and the M19 becoming the road northwards. At the immediate next junction, as the road northwards becomes the M6 route, the M19 beco ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
19th Of April Movement
The 19th of April Movement (), or M-19, was a Colombian urban guerrilla movement active in the late 1970s and 1980s. After its demobilization in 1990 it became a political party, the M-19 Democratic Alliance (), or AD/M-19. The M-19 traced its origins to the allegedly fraudulent presidential elections of 19 April 1970, where the left-wing populist National Popular Alliance (ANAPO) of former military dictator Gustavo Rojas Pinilla was defeated by the National Front, a power sharing coalition of the two main establishment parties. M-19 initially proclaimed itself the armed wing of ANAPO, though party leaders denied any association. The ideology of the M-19 was revolutionary nationalism, but it claimed its main aim was to open up electoral democracy in Colombia. It was inspired by other South American urban guerrilla groups, such as the Tupamaros in Uruguay and the Montoneros in Argentina. At its height in the mid-1980s, the M-19 was the second largest guerrilla gro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
