    June 27, 202615 min

    Morris Park Aerodrome

    The Morris Park Aerodrome was a short-lived airfield in what is now the Morris Park section of the Bronx, New York City, United States. In operation from 1908 to 1909, it was the first flying field in the nation, occupying the grounds of the former Morris Park Racecourse. The Aeronautical Society of New York, after a split from the Aero Club of America, leased the land in 1908 and used it as an aerodrome for two years until it was redeveloped for residential use.

    Battle of Trapani

    The Battle of Trapani took place on 23 June 1266 off Trapani, Sicily, between the fleets of the Republic of Genoa and the Republic of Venice, as part of the War of Saint Sabas (1256–1270). During the war, the Venetians held the upper hand in naval confrontations, forcing the Genoese to resort to commerce raiding and avoiding fleet battles. In the 1266 campaign, the Genoese had an advantage in numbers, but this was not known to the Genoese commander, Lanfranco Borbonino. As a result, the Genoese tarried at Corsica until the end of May. The Venetian fleet under Jacopo Dondulo was left to sail back and forth, awaiting the appearance of the Genoese fleet in the waters around southern Italy and Sicily. Fearing that the other side had more ships, both sides reinforced their fleets with additional ships, but the Genoese retained a small numerical advantage.
