- A telephone numbering plan is a type of numbering scheme used in telecommunications to allocate telephone numbers to subscribers and to route telephone calls in a telephone network. A closed numbering plan, such as found in North America, imposes a fixed total length to numbers.

332 area code – 332nd Fighter
Crewed by highly-educated and exceptionally motivated men, the 99th Fighter Squadron, led by Col Benjamin O. Davis (later joined by the 100th, 301st, and 302nd FS to form the 332nd Fighter Group), first flew ground attack missions in P-40s in North Africa and participated in the destruction and surrender of Pantelleria, off Sicily. Later, after the unit was equipped with P-51 Mustangs, the ‘Redtails’ began flying escort missions deep into Germany.
The unit scoreboard boasted 111 aerial kills (including several Me 262 jets), 150 strafing victories, 950 vehicles and railway rolling stock destroyed, and the sinking of a German destroyer by war’s end. The group were both feared and respected by the Germans, who called them the “Schwartze Voglemenschen” (Black Birdmen), and revered by others as the “Black Red-tail Angels”, partly because of their distinct red-tailed aircraft, and partly because they never lost a bomber under escort to enemy attack (a feat which was unmatched by any other USAAF fighter group in World War II). The pilots of the 332nd FG attribute their success to the discipline instilled by Col Davis, who is reputed to have told them, ‘If you lose a bomber, don’t bother to come back.’
This book will reveal the true story of the unit who rose above discrimination to achieve elite status.
Riverside Drive
The Riverside-West End Historic District, encompassing some 265 buildings, extends from 85th Street to 95th Street along Riverside Drive and from 87th Street to 94th Street along West End Avenue and includes the side street blocks connecting the two avenues and portions of four blocks extending eastward of West End Avenue.
A remarkably large concentration of architecturally distinctive and unspoiled residential buildings of high quality are found in the Riverside-West End Historic District. These are characteristic of the development of the Upper West Side west of Broadway during the period from 1884 to 1939. The district encompasses a number of residential building types representing different phases of development. An individual mansion on Riverside Drive and speculatively-built rowhouses, designed as harmonious groups, are characteristic of the earliest phase, roughly 1884 to 1901.
The rowhouses are located on the side streets and on portions of West End Avenue. Apartment buildings lining the avenues were constructed during two phases, before and after World War I (1895-1917 and 1921-1939). Six- and seven-story elevator flats as seen on West 93rd Street, dating from the turn of the century, correspond to the late phase of rcwhouse development and the early phase of apartment building development.
The curving street wall of Riverside Drive acts as a counterpoint to the formal north/south axis of West End Avenue, each artery framing the domestic scale of the rowhouses in between.
This section of the city, which had been largely undeveloped previously, offered numerous advantages of location, especially its situation next to Riverside Park facing the Hudson River. Topography was also a factor in defining this section of the Upper West Side. A plateau between 79th and 94th Streets, one of the higher points along Riverside Drive, made this area desirable for high quality residential development.
Mansions appeared along Riverside Drive in the late 1880s, and by the end of the nineteenth century the side streets and Vest End Avenue within the area of the district were developed with rowhouses. The desirability of location was undoubtedly a factor in the redevelopment of the avenues with some of the area’s finest apartment buildings, particularly Riverside Drive with its park and river views.
West End Avenue and Riverside Drive within the district derive much of their quality from the apartment houses which began to be built by the early twentieth century, as the economics of residential building activity changed and apartment living became a more widely accepted alternative to the single-family house for prosperous residents. During the first four decades of the century, apartment buildings were constructed on lots speculatively-held for a long time or replaced groups of rowhouses on West End Avenue and mansions on Riverside Drive.
There were two general periods of apartment building construction: (1) 1895-1917, the buildings range in height from seven to twelve stories and tend to have more exterior ornament -and larger, more spacious interior plans with high ceilings; (2) 1921-1939, the buildings are somewhat larger with an average of fifteen stories, display more restrained facade treatments and have lower ceilings and smaller plans for the individual apartments.
In conformance with the provisions in the city’s building codes, the buildings of the later phase were built to a consistent height of fifteen stories right to the property line, creating building walls which help define the linear quality of West End Avenue and the winding curves of Riverside Drive. Building facades along these avenues are generally characterized by simple wall surfaces with the base and upper level elaborately embellished with ornament inspired by the Beaux-Arts, Renaissance, Gothic, and Romanesque styles.
With its curves that break with the regular street grid and its situation overlooking Riverside Park, the portion of Riverside Drive within the district has a particularly strong character which is further reinforced by the uniform building wall of the apartment buildings. In some instances the building facades conform to the curves or fit within oddly-shaped lots.
The curves of the drive also create some very short side street blocks between Riverside and West End, which slope down toward the park. This in turn makes residents and pedestrians on the side streets very aware of the presence of Riverside Park, just outside of the boundary of the district. The northern portion of Riverside Drive within the district is especially picturesque due to the island containing the Joan of Arc statue lined by a quiet service road which is separated from the rest of Riverside Park. The Rice Mansion (1901-03, Herts & Tallant) at 89th Street is one of only two of the mansions which once dotted Riverside Drive to survive today.
