Louis XIV has Versailles built because he wanted to distance himself from the Parisians and to keep the power within the nobility, this of course proved unsuccessful.
What was the aircraft used to shoot down the V 1 during World War 2?
Only a few Allied aircraft had the low altitude speed to destroy V-1s. The Hawker Tempest was the most effective, between June and September 1944 destroying 638 of 1846 destroyed by aircraft. Anti-aircraft artillery (firing the previously highly secret proximity-fused shells) and barrage balloons accounted for the balance of the total of 4,261 destroyed. There were only a handful of Tempests in service, but the total was built up to about one hundred by September, all operating with 150 Wing. Number 3 Squadron of the Wing claimed 305 destroyed. Squadron Leader Joseph Berry of 501 Squadron destroyed 59 V-1s, and Wing Commander Roland Beaumont destroyed 31. During the short summer nights of 1944 the Tempests shared the duty with night-fighting de Havilland Mosquitoes, which destroyed a further 428 V-1s. By September some P-51 Mustangs and Griffon-engined Spitfire XIVs had been tuned up for low altitude speed and destroyed 232 and 303 V-1s respectively. Though not yet fully operational the jet-powered Gloster Meteor was rushed into service with Number 616 Squadron to fight the V-1s. It had ample speed but its cannon were prone to jamming and Meteors destroyed only 13 V-1s.
