This aircraft spent a long time in the development stage. It was Grumman’s first successful venture into the area of twin-engine fighters A previously designed F5F, a rather strange looking aircraft with two radial engines mounted on the wings that, in turn, were located at the nose of the fuselage, fell short of success. The F7F, in contrast, was a very fine aircraft. Unfortunately, it entered Navy service too late to have made a major impact during World War II.
The Navy ordered the F7F in June 1941, the same time it ordered the F6F Wildcat. The specifications called for two engines producing in excess of 4,000 horsepower total, and firepower at least double that of the F4F Wildcat. Such a radical departure in design presented many problems for Grumman.
Originally, it was designed as a fighter-bomber, but once in the development stage, requirements were changed to produce many of the aircraft as night fighters. This was accomplished with the addition of airborne radar in the long nose. Operation of this equipment was the duty of a radar operator, whose station was located in the second seat. In those early years of airborne intercept, the equipment was very bulky and very heavy. This required a large, heavy, maneuverable aircraft with powerful engines. The Tigercat was well suited to fill this order.
While they were designed as carrier-borne fighters, it appeared that the only proposed 45,000 ton Midway class “supercarriers” would be able to operate them. Most of the F7Fs were allocated to the Marine Corps to be flown from island bases in the Pacific. The first of these aircraft arrived in Okinawa very shortly before the Japanese surrender and were modified to photo reconnaissance aircraft.
The Tigercat truly was a radical departure from all Grumman fighters. Not only was it a very large, twin-engine aircraft but, for the first time, a Navy fighter was designed with a tricycle landing gear. With its two large engines nacelles, the F7F is particularly suited to the arrangement. The main gear simply retracts into those large nacelles. All ground operations aare considerably simplified with this type of gear.
The first flight of the prototype was on 3 November 1943, almost 2 and ½ years after order placement. First delivery was on October 1944—again, a very long time span for those days of urgency. It is obvious that the radical departure in design was detrimental to its development.
This aircraft went through several major changes. Originally, it was to be a land-based, single seat fighter-bomber. As the need for fleet protection at night became critical, the demand for a night fighter increased dramatically. The F7F was the ideal aircraft for such a purpose. In this role, it would serve in much the same capacity as its Army Air Force relative, the Northrup P-61 Black Widow—primarily that of radar interception of night intruders. While unconfirmed at this writing, there were some reports that two squadrons of Marine F7Fs were active on Okinawa when hostilities ceased.
Final delivery of these aircraft was in December 1946. Approximately 240 had been built. The Tigercat did see combat duty during the Korean War as a night fighter—a role if filled very well. In the fall of 1956, F7Fs were still being flown by Marines stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
After being stricken from Navy records, many of these aircraft saw service as fire bombers.
Operational Information:
Demanding Navy specifications caused many delays in the development and eventual acceptance of the F7F. Consequently, it was unable to take its rightful place in World War II. A very fast aircraft, it was particularly effective as a night fighter during the Korean War and played a very important role in the post-war era with the Marines in the Pacific, and in places such as Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. With its tremendous power and load-carrying capacity, it was a favorite of the fire bombers who flew these very dangerous peacetime missions.

History F7F “King of the Cats” at Palm Springs Air Museum:
Bureau Number 80412 was one of 189 F7F-3s built with improved armor, an 80 gallon auxiliary tank replacing the second seat and a larger vertical fin and rudder. It was delivered to the U.S. Navy on 28 April 1945 and assigned to the Marine Fleet Air Wing.
On 23 July 1945, it was assigned to Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) El Toro, California. In September 1945 it was transferred to Naval Air Station (NAS) Alameda, California and placed in storage. After overhaul at MCAS El Toro, it was placed in storage at Litchfield Park, Arizona in early 1950.
On 13 October 1950 80412 was taken out of storage, overhauled, and sent to MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina, arriving on 2 January 1951.
In May 1952 it was transferred to NAS Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico for a brief time, returning to Cherry Point for the remainder of its active Navy life. On 16 October 1953 it was flown to Litchfield Park, Arizona and on 28 July 1956, was stricken from Navy records.
In 1958 it was one of five F7Fs purchased from USN at a cost of $1,200 each and converted into fire bombers and on 21 March 1958, it was sold to Collins Air Service, Anchorage, Alaska and registered at N-7628C. On 8 August 1960 it was sold to Cat Nat Airways, Grass Valley, California where it was used actively as a fire bomber.
In July 1966 it was involved in a belly landing at Ukiah, California and for the next three years was used as a parts source for Cal Nat. In 1969 it was sold to Sis Q Flying Service, Santa Rosa, California as a parts source and in 1972, the wreck was stored. On 16 December 1985 it was sold to Kermit Weeks and stored and dismantled at Borrego Springs, California.
After passing through hands, it was purchased by Robert Pond, the parts to be sent to Fighter Rebuilders at Chino, California for restoration. On July 8, 1991 the FAA reinstated the registration of N-7628C and it became a part of the Planes of Fame East Museum in Minnesota.
During the summer of 1996 it was ferried to Palm Springs Airport, California, where it was to become part of the Palm Springs Air Museum. It played a very important part in the museum’s spectacular opening day flight demonstrations.
Today Grumman F7F “King of the Cats” is proudly on display in the museum’ Pacific Hangar.

The UK's International Development Minister Alan Duncan meets with the Head of the United Nations' humanitarian agency OCHA, Baroness Valerie Amos (London, 16 May 2013)
The two met following Britain's pledge of emergency food, drinking water and shelter to help people in Rakhine State in western Burma, who have been displaced by ethnic violence and now face additional threats of approaching tropical storms.
Mr Duncan welcomed the United Nations' role in helping the country's government and partners to prepare for the storm season, and called on the UN to continue to work with the Burmese authorities to ensure effective humanitarian support for the Rohingya people in the area.
Minister of State for International Development Alan Duncan said:
“Thousands of people displaced by violence in Rakhine State are currently extremely vulnerable. With the first tropical storm of the cyclone season due to hit the area this week, it is imperative that we respond to the unfolding humanitarian crisis.
“British support will not only meet the immediate food, water and medical needs of the displaced, but give people protection from the elements for the future. The plight of the people of Rakhine State must not be ignored.”
Britain’s £4.4m package of emergency assistance for Rakhine State will provide:
• nearly 80,000 people with access to safe drinking water and improved sanitation facilities
• malnourished children aged 0-59 months with treatment for acute malnutrition in rural camps
• and hygiene kits to nearly 40,000 people.

Idea machine used to collect people's view on the local area development (Franche Comte - Fr) . This machine is put on display in markets and and city centers.
Until the mid-19th century the majority of the area of present-day Schwarzenberg square was occupied by the Glacis located in front of Vienna city walls that was here crossed by the River Wien (Vienna). After the demolition of the city walls during the years 1858 to 1863 relatively large areas now in the range of ramparts and glacis for building development have been available. Similar to Ring Road palaces of the second half of the 19th century, some magnificent buildings were constructed here.
1861 was by Emperor Franz Joseph I decided to erect here the 1813 in the Battle of Leipzig been victorious commander Karl Philipp Schwarzenberg a monument. The equestrian statue was created by the Dresden sculptor Ernst Hähnel (1811-1891) from 1863, the militarily laid out laying of the foundation stone for the monument took place on 18 October 1863 (the 50th anniversary of the Battle of the Nations), the ceremonial unveiling of the (in those days aesthetically and historically not uncontroversial) monument on October 20, 1867 (after the anniversary of the battle of nations, October 18, due to political reasons had not been kept).
Since 1865, the 1895 demolished Schwarzenberg bridge led across the river to Rennweg (route to Hungary), towards later Prinz-Eugen street (access from downtown to South Station and Staatsbahnhof (state railway station), later Ostbahnhof - eastern railway station) and the situated in between Palais Schwarzenberg.
Historic Art Nouveau Place lighting type "crosier"
During the construction of the First Vienna Mountain Spring Pipeline was before the Palais Schwarzenberg (in an area that then did not yet belong to Schwarzenberg square) built the high jet fountain (Hochstrahlbrunnen) and on 23 October 1873 with a ceremony, attended by Emperor Franz Joseph I, opened. The since about 1870 from the Seilerstätte out of town until the small river Wienfluss running Schwarzenberg street was in 1880 in its southern area between the Ring Road and Lothringer street, accordingly to the importance of the ensemble with the equestrian monument, renamed in Schwarzenberg square.
The 1895-1902 vaulted Vienna River, at whose southern shore until 1899 the also vaulted Wientallinie of the Vienna Metropolitan railway was built, at this place run about in the area of the southern roadway of Lothringer street. In 1904, the square south was extented until the Schwarzenberg square. The indication that the Schwarzenberg street previously had been extended to the Palais Schwarzenberg does not harmonize with the historic city maps and address books.
Behind of (= south of) High Jet Fountain was in August 1945, immediately after the end of World War II, by the Red Army the War Memorial (popularly today: Russian monument) unveiled; until 1955 there was also a Soviet tank SU-100 placed. During the occupation time the southern part of the Schwarzenberg square on April 12, 1946, was renamed in Stalin Square and the square kept this name to 18 July 1956. In the House of Industry, then Stalin Square 4, was until 1955 the seat of the Allied Council of the four occupying powers.
In the years 2003 and 2004 the Schwarzenberg place after a concept by Spanish architect Alfredo Arribas has been redesigned and additionally equipped with sunken lighting elements that represent different lighting effects. In the course of restructuring the existing hitherto small green areas have been eliminated, which has also been criticized. Particularly strong reservations there was against the replacement of the largely still remaining slender lighting columns in 1904 by light bodies which were perceived by critics as clumsy and clunky. The previous design of the City of Vienna had the complete restoration of the historic Art Nouveau Chandeliers of type "crosier" provided. 2016, many of the 300 embedded in the ground, controlled by computer effect lamps are defective. The dismantling of outdated technology that was only in the early years serviced is being debated.
Under the Schwarzenbergplatz not only run the Vienna river and the subway line U4, here was once also the Zwingburg, a shelter for homeless and Strotter (people looking for recyclable waste products), who secluded themselves in the Vienna sewage system.
Bis zur Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde der Großteil des Areals des heutigen Schwarzenbergplatzes von dem der Wiener Stadtmauer vorgelagerten Glacis eingenommen, das hier vom Wienfluss durchflossen wurde. Nach dem Abriss der Stadtmauer in den Jahren 1858 bis 1863 standen nun verhältnismäßig große Flächen im Bereich von Stadtmauer und Glacis zur Verbauung zur Verfügung. Ähnlich den Ringstraßenpalais der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts wurden auch hier einige Prachtbauten errichtet.
1861 wurde von Kaiser Franz Joseph I. beschlossen, dem 1813 in der Völkerschlacht bei Leipzig siegreich gewesenen Feldherrn Karl Philipp Schwarzenberg hier ein Denkmal errichten zu lassen. Das Reiterstandbild wurde vom Dresdner Bildhauer Ernst Hähnel (1811–1891) ab 1863 geschaffen, die militärisch angelegte Grundsteinlegung zum Monument fand am 18. Oktober 1863 statt (dem 50. Jahrestag der Völkerschlacht), die feierliche Enthüllung des (in jenen Tagen ästhetisch wie historisch nicht unumstrittenen) Denkmals am 20. Oktober 1867 (nachdem der Jahrestag der Völkerschlacht, der 18. Oktober, aus politischer Rücksicht nicht wahrgenommen worden war).
Seit 1865 führte die 1895 abgebrochene Schwarzenbergbrücke über den Fluss zum Rennweg (Route nach Ungarn), zur späteren Prinz-Eugen-Straße (Zufahrt vom Stadtzentrum zu Südbahnhof und Staatsbahnhof, später Ostbahnhof) und zum dazwischen liegenden Palais Schwarzenberg.
Historische Jugendstil-Platzbeleuchtung vom Typ "Bischofsstab"
Anlässlich des Baus der I. Wiener Hochquellenwasserleitung wurde vor dem Palais Schwarzenberg (auf einem Areal, das damals noch nicht zum Schwarzenbergplatz zählte) der Hochstrahlbrunnen errichtet und am 23. Oktober 1873 mit einer Zeremonie, der Kaiser Franz Joseph I. beiwohnte, eröffnet. Die seit etwa 1870 von der Seilerstätte stadtauswärts bis zum Wienfluss verlaufende Schwarzenbergstraße wurde 1880 in ihrem südlichen Abschnitt zwischen Ringstraße und Lothringerstraße, der Bedeutung des Ensembles mit dem Reiterdenkmal entsprechend, in Schwarzenbergplatz umbenannt.
Der 1895 bis 1902 eingewölbte Wienfluss, an dessen südlichem Ufer bis 1899 die ebenfalls eingewölbte Wientallinie der Wiener Stadtbahn gebaut wurde, verlief an dieser Stelle etwa im Zuge der südlichen Fahrbahn der Lothringerstraße. 1904 wurde der Platz südlich bis zum Palais Schwarzenberg erweitert. Die Angabe, die Schwarzenbergstraße habe sich zuvor bereits bis zum Palais Schwarzenberg erstreckt, harmoniert nicht mit historischen Stadtplänen und Adressbüchern.
Hinter dem (= südlich vom) Hochstrahlbrunnen wurde im August 1945, unmittelbar nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs, von der Roten Armee das Heldendenkmal (im Volksmund bis heute: Russendenkmal) enthüllt; bis 1955 war dort auch ein sowjetischer Panzer SU-100 aufgestellt. Während der Besatzungszeit wurde der südliche Teil des Schwarzenbergplatzes am 12. April 1946 in Stalinplatz umbenannt und behielt diesen Namen bis 18. Juli 1956. Im Haus der Industrie, damals Stalinplatz 4, befand sich bis 1955 der Sitz des Alliierten Rates der vier Besatzungsmächte.
In den Jahren 2003 und 2004 wurde der Schwarzenbergplatz nach einem Konzept des spanischen Architekten Alfredo Arribas neu gestaltet und zusätzlich mit im Boden eingelassenen Beleuchtungselementen ausgestattet, die verschiedene Lichteffekte darstellen. Im Zuge des Umbaus wurden die bis dahin vorhandenen kleinen Grünflächen entfernt, was auch kritisiert wurde. Besonders starke Vorbehalte gab es gegen die Ersetzung der großteils noch vorhandenen schlanken Lichtmasten aus 1904 durch Beleuchtungskörper, die von Kritikern als plump und klobig empfunden wurden. Die vorherige Konzeption der Gemeinde Wien hatte die vollständige Wiederherstellung der historischen Jugendstil-Beleuchtungskörper vom Typus "Bischofsstab" vorgesehen. 2016 sind viele der 300 im Boden eingelassenen, per Computer angesteuerten Effektleuchten defekt. Der Rückbau der veralteten Technik, die nur in den ersten Jahren gewartet wurde, steht zur Diskussion.
Unter dem Schwarzenbergplatz verlaufen nicht nur der Wienfluss und die U-Bahn-Linie U4, hier befand sich einst auch die Zwingburg, ein Unterschlupf für Obdachlose und Strotter, die sich in der Wiener Kanalisation zurückzogen.

www.meetup.com/SoftDev/events/52749512/
Teodoro Alonso is a Technical Architect at Model Metrics a Salesforce.com company.
Meeting sponsored by Salesforce.com
Apache Cordova (previously known as Phonegap) has emerged as one of the most important hybrid (native-html/javascript) cross platform mobile application development environment. The goal of this meetup is to present the basic architecture of Cordova/Phonegap in iOS and demonstrate its capabilities by creating a simple application in HTML/Javascript and then deploy it to a mobile device as a native application. We will also discuss the resources available to learn how to develop applications in Cordova/Phonegap. If time permits, we will review a simple Cordova/Phonegap plugin that I developed to extract information from an iTunes library.

Being able to retire at forty is one of my greatest achievements. In my '20s, after only 1 week of work, I realized that I was ripe for retirement: my brain couldn't compute the "9 to 5" way of life. The escape from the rat race took me 15 years, thousands of self-development / finance books and dozens of works in third-world countries. All worth it!
