Six manned landings on the Moon were achieved.

Although used during the Normandy landings, by that point German aircraft were contained by the Allies own air forces and they were largely unneeded.

These shoals were too shallow to permit passage of larger warships, and so Brueys ordered his thirteen ships of the line to form up in a line of battle following the northeastern edge of the shoals to the south of the island, a position that allowed the ships to disembark supplies from their port side while covering the landings with their starboard batteries.

Although their work was controversial, the American Apollo Moon landings, which were in progress at the time, provided supportive evidence by recognizing the rate of impact cratering on the Moon.

They were allocated to the initial beachhead assaults by the British and Commonwealth forces in the D-Day landings

The D-Day Normandy landings on June 6, 1944 were costly but successful ; a month later the invasion of Southern France took place, and control of the forces which took part in the southern invasion passed from the AFHQ to the SHAEF.

Both landings were amphibious operations conducted from the ships.

However, some of the landings went wrong and troops were landed in the wrong positions, causing confusion that lost valuable time.

No landings were attempted but both Pellegreno and Finch flew low enough to drop a wreath on the island.

Space probes have been placed into orbit around all the five planets known to the ancients: first Mars ( Mariner 9, 1971 ), then Venus ( Venera 9, 1975 ; but landings on Venus and atmospheric probes were performed even earlier ), Jupiter ( Galileo, 1995 ), Saturn ( Cassini / Huygens, 2004 ), and most recently Mercury ( MESSENGER, March 2011 ), and have returned data about these bodies and their natural satellites.

They decided to change the rules for javelin construction because of the increasingly frequent flat landings and the resulting discussions and protests when these attempts were declared valid or invalid by competition judges.

The Kriegsmarine later used some of the motorized Sea Lion barges for landings on the Russian-held Baltic islands in 1941 and, though most of them were eventually returned to the inland rivers they originally plied, a reserve was kept for military transport duties and for filling out amphibious flotillas.

The Germans mis-allocated their forces as a result, and were slow to respond to the actual landings at Normandy.

In the 1940s, parts of the D-day landings were planned there.

However, a large proportion of catches is not reported at species level ; in the FAO fishery statistics, the category " Croakers, drums, not elsewhere included ", is the largest one within Sciaenidae, with annual landings of 431, 000 – 780, 000 tonnes in 2000 – 2009, most of which were reported from the Western Indian Ocean ( FAO fishing area 51 ) and Northwest Pacific ( FAO fishing area 61 ).

These torpedo squadrons were responsible primarily for training replacement pilots and combat air crewmen, placing particular importance on carrier landings.

They were also used during the D-Day landings on 6 June 1944.

In service the aircraft performed well being described as delightful to fly with none of the vices associated with large rotary engines, however deck landings on ships were hazardous in this period and the accident rate was high.

The good news was some of those allocated forces were already forward at Milne Bay, where he was setting a trap with the veteran mid-East blooded 7th Australian Division, for he fully expected the Japanese would continue trans-coastal landings in an attempt to out flank Port Moresby, bringing ground forces in and around the point, in an end-around past the eastern tip of New Guinea and land on undefended beaches there.

These sets were too late for the D-day landings in June 1944, but were used in the invasion of the south of France and in the South Pacific war.

Once they had captured their initial targets, they were reinforced by 2, 600 soldiers and critical equipment carried in 408 gliders daylight missions code-named Operation Bluebird, phase 2, simultaneous with the beach landings, and Operation Dove, phase 3.

The landings from the sea the next day saw the first large-scale heliborne assault, as 45 Commando, Royal Marines were landed by helicopters in Port Said from ships offshore.

The runway was also available to commercial airlines for emergency landings ( a fairly common event ), and for many years it was a regular stop on Continental Micronesia airline's " island hopper " service between Hawaii and the Marshall Islands.

Even when there are already escalators or lifts, there are often steps between the lift or escalator landings and the platforms.

* The Ottoman Empire attempts landings at the shoreline between Cadiz and Lisbon.

On 15 August 1944, two months after the Allied landings in Normandy ( Operation Overlord ), the Seventh United States Army under General Alexander Patch, with a Free French corps under General Jean de Lattre de Tassigny, landed on the coast of the Var between St. Raphael and Cavalaire ( Operation Dragoon ).

The primary objective at Omaha was to secure a beachhead of some five miles ( eight kilometres ) depth, between Port-en-Bessin and the Vire River, linking with the British landings at Gold Beach to the east, and reaching the area of Isigny to the west to link up with VII Corps landing at Utah Beach.

Polls taken in various locations have shown that between 6 % and 20 % of Americans surveyed believe that the manned landings were faked, rising to 28 % in Russia.

The 10th SS Division was sent south to respond to the American landings at Nijmegen and defend the " island " ( the polder between the Lower Rhine and Waal rivers ), while the 9th would defend Arnhem.

) Most modern test cards include a set of calibrated color bars which will produce a characteristic pattern of " dot landings " on a vectorscope, allowing chroma and tint to be precisely adjusted between generations of videotape or network feeds.

* The total rise of the stairs is the height between floors ( or landings ) that the flight of stairs is spanning.

* Maximum vertical height between floors or landings.

The landings on the islands were meant to deny their use by the Japanese as bases for threatening the supply routes between the U. S. and Australia, and secure the islands as starting points for a campaign with the eventual goal of isolating the major Japanese base at Rabaul while also supporting the Allied New Guinea campaign.

This plan included the building of a new terminal and a new parallel runway across Donelson Pike to handle increasing operations by reducing the time between consecutive takeoffs and landings.

In December 2009, the TPA announced that it would allow up between 42 and 92 daily landings and takeoffs at the airport, beyond the current 120 per day ' slots ' allotted.

French aircraft resist the landings, strafing the landing beaches at least five times, and aerial combat occurs between U. S. Navy F4F Wildcats and French Dewoitine D. 520 and Curtiss Hawk 75A fighters.

There was extensive cooperation between British and Irish intelligence and the exchange of information such as detailed weather reports of the Atlantic Ocean ; the decision to go ahead with the D-day landings was decided by a weather report from Blacksod Bay, County Mayo.

A pilot landing at a hot and high airfield will use the same IAS to fly the aircraft at the correct approach and landing speeds as she would when landing at a cold sea level airfield even though the TAS must differ considerably between the two landings.

The campaign started with the landings in Normandy and ended on 4 May 1945 with Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery taking the German military surrender of all German forces in Holland, north west Germany and Denmark on Lüneburg Heath, ( situated between the cities of Hamburg, Hanover and Bremen ).
