The 7th Operations Group is the operational flying component of the United States Air Force 7th Bomb Wing, stationed at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas. The 7th Operations Group flies the B-1 Lancer; the 7th Operations Group is a direct successor organization of the 7th Bombardment Group, one of the 15 original combat air groups formed by the United States Army before World War II. Activated in 1921, it inherited the lineage of the 1st Army Observation Group, established and organized, on 6 September 1918; the 7th Bombardment Group was deploying to the Philippines when the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service attacked Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. Six of the group's B-17 Flying Fortress aircraft which had left Hamilton Field, California on 6 December 1941 reached Hawaii during the enemy attack, but were able to land safely; the unit served in India during World War II. In the postwar era, the 7d Bombardment Group was one of the first USAAF units assigned to the Strategic Air Command on 1 October 1946, prior to the establishment of the United States Air Force.

Equipped with low-hour B-29 Superfortress surplus World War II aircraft, the group was inactivated in 1952 when the parent wing adopted the Tri-Deputate organization and assigned all of the group's squadrons directly to the wing. Reactivated as the 7th Operations Group in 1991 when the 7th Bomb Wing adopted the USAF Objective organization plan; the 7 OG consists of the following units: 7th Operations Support Squadron 9th Bomb Squadron 28th Bomb Squadron 436th Training SquadronBoth the 9th and 28th Bomb Squadrons fought in combat on the Western Front of World War I, histories predate that of the Operations Group. The group's emblem, approved in 1933, features three crosses symbolizing its squadrons' battle honors; the diagonal stripe was taken from the coat of arms of Province of Lorraine which France took back from Germany in World War I. For additional history and lineage, see 7th Bomb Wing In the summer of 1918 and the organization of the United States First Army in France, the First Army Observation Group was organized at Gondreville-sur-Moselle Aerodrome on 6 September.

The group consisted of the 91st and 24th Aero Squadrons, which flew over the front into enemy territory. Aircraft from the group took numerous air photos and compiled maps of enemy troop concentrations, road convoys, railway traffic and other targets during the Battle of Saint-Mihiel in mid-September. On 22 September, the group changed stations. At Vavincourt, the 9th Aero Squadron was assigned to the unit. With the addition of the 9th, both day and night patrols were made over enemy territory, with intelligence being returned to First Army headquarters; the duties of the group consisted of long-distance patrols far into the enemy rear areas, both visual and photographic. Special attention was paid to enemy movements on roads and railways. Railway stations and marshalling yards were noted, along with supply depots and munition storage areas. Once located, they were kept under routine observation; the locations of enemy heavy artillery batteries were monitored and their movements recorded. The First Army OG flew no less than 521 successful missions, with a total of 1,271 sorties being made.

Daily battles with enemy aircraft were engaged, with the group shooting down 50 aircraft in 111 aerial combats. With the Armistice with Germany being reached on 11 November 1918, the group ceased flying into enemy territory, but maintained an alert for several weeks afterward. After World War I, the Army Air Service was re-organized on a permanent basis; the 1st Army Observation Group was organized at Park Field, Tennessee on 1 October 1919. It was transferred to Langley Field and was assigned the 1st, 12th and 88th Aero Squadrons, equipped with surplus de Havilland DH-4s. On 14 March 1921, with the formation of the United States Army Air Service, it was re-designated as the 7th Observation Group, it was inactivated due to funding issues on 30 August 1921. The group was re-formed at Rockwell Field, San Diego and activated on 1 June 1928; the re-formed Group was assigned the 9th, 11th, 31st Bombardment Squadrons. The 9th, 11th and 31st squadrons lent their World War I lineage to the group's emblem as indicated by the three Maltese Crosses on the shield.

While the group was assigned at Rockwell Field, the fledgling Air Force was testing new theories and ideas. In early 1931, the 7th began training aircrews in radio-controlled interception. A bomber, acting as a target, reported by radio to a ground station, giving location and course. Armed with this information, ground controllers guided pursuit aircraft to the objective; the 7th was transferred to March Field, Riverside California, on 29 October 1931 with its 11th Squadron joining the 9th and 31st Bombardment Squadrons, activated on 1 April 1931, but had not been manned. The Curtiss B-2 Condor was flown by the 11th. A sprinkling of other aircraft types from the era was found among the squadrons; the 7th trained and participated in aerial reviews, assisted in atmospheric experiments, dropped food and medical supplies to people marooned or lost, took part in massive Army maneuvers during the 1930s flying Curtiss and Keystone biplane bombers Martin B-12s,For 102 days in 1934 the Army Air Corps flew domestic air mail routes, assigned to the job by an executive order from the White House.

This followed a year long investigation that alleged fraud and collusion among the dozen or so airlines who hauled the mail for a subsidy of fifty four cents per mile own. Following the closure of Rockwell Field in San Diego, the 7th had to m

Sonic's Rendezvous Band is a 2006 release box set by Sonic's Rendezvous Band under the UK label Easy Action. The remaining band members contributed to the box as well as Fred "Sonic" Smith's estate; the Box includes three unreleased live shows, the previous release Sweet Nothing in its entirety, several tracks from the City Slang release, a collection of basement tapes and other live material, as well as the studio recorded single "City Slang" and its intended b-side "Electrophonic Tonic". David Fricke, Senior Editor of Rolling Stone, stated in the review of this box set that it "comes with its own controversy" over whether it was approved by all involved. Record label Easy Action asserts on its Web site that the release was approved by the surviving band members and by Fred Smith's wife and children; the release is advertised in Scott Morgan's website. Fricke added: "I'm not taking sides. I just want as much of the best of this band as I can get, in good quality. Right now, this is, and I am playing it.

Loud". However, the band's ex-road manager's website states that it wasn't approved at all, neither by band members nor by the heirs of Fred Smith; the statements, made by Freddie Brooks, disregard the box set as a "fraudulent release". Brooks said his own website would be re-launched in October 2006, with re-issues of two previously-available CDs and a new three-disc box set, but this has failed to materialise. All tracks composed by Fred "Sonic" Smith.

Jalan Besar is a one-way road in Singapore, connecting Lavender Street in Kallang and Rochor Canal Road in Rochor. Jalan Besar only appeared in the 1880s, when the Municipality constructed it through nipah land and called it Jalan Besar, meaning "big or wide road" in Malay; the area belonged to Richard Owen Norris from the 1830s to 1865. Syed Allie bought 70 acres of land in this area and filled in what was predominantly swamp land; the site where Beatty School was and the HDB flats are was a big expanse of open ground. A rubber factory stood on the field, another in Kitchener Road; the place was full of a favourite haunt of hunters. The other side of Jalan Besar between Lavender Street and Syed Alwi Road was swamp land. Flying ducks, fish, mud lobsters and multi-coloured snakes thrived there; the area was reclaimed by dumping refuse. In 1923, the New World Amusement Park located off Jalan Besar was opened by the enterprising sons of Ong Sam Leong, Peng Hock and Boon Tat. A peculiarity of the street names in Jalan Besar is that many bear the names of World War I British generals and admirals and two French generals — Allenby, French, Jellicoe, Foch, Sturdee and Petain.

The names of battle places such as Flanders and Verdun are reflected. Today, Jalan Besar is a gazetted conservation area. Most of the roads above were cut from the 1920s onwards when the then-swampland was filled in with incinerator ash from Singapore's first incinerator built in the vicinity of today's Syed Alwi Road. From 1926, the Municipal Council decided to name the newly opened roads after personalities and battle-sites of the European conflict so as to remind the then-colony of Singapore of the conflicts in Europe; the street is known to the Hoklos as kam kong ka poh thai tu long, which means "the slaughter pig depot in Kampong Kapor", a reference to the abattoir in the vicinity. "Jalan Besar" is a common street name in Malaysia used as an occasional substitute for the colonially named "Main Street" and "Main Road", as part of the country's increased use of Malay over English. The name is prevalent in individual towns that featured their own set of street names representing main thoroughfares and streets related to specific landmarks.
