Canada's Air Force, Aircraft: Douglas Boston (486 words) |
 | Boston W8268 was not one of the three Bostons of various models that was on strength with the RCAF, although it was obviously flown by Canadians as evidenced by the "Ottawa, Ontario" logo on the nose. |
| In spite of its bulky airframe the Boston's high speed was its saving grace and can be attributed to the two 1600 horsepower 14 cylinder Wright Cyclone engines which gave it a top speed near the deck of 339 miles per hours. |
| The Douglas DB-7 was one of the most produced and most widely operated light bombers of World War II. |

Stephen A. Douglas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1202 words) |
| Douglas seems never to have had any personal moral antipathy towards slavery; in March of 1847, he married Martha Martin, the daughter of a slaveholder, Colonel Robert Martin of North Carolina, and a cousin of D.S. Reid, one of Douglas's colleague in Congress. |
| In the Senate Douglas was not reappointed chairman of the committee on territories. |
| Douglas died from typhoid fever on June 3, 1861 at Chicago, where he was buried on the shore of Lake Michigan; the site was afterwards bought by the state, and an imposing monument with a statue by Leonard Volk now stands over his grave. |
