About this product

Product Information

Which World War I types were known as the Rumpety , Gnome Sandwich , Blockbuster , Bognor Bloater and Harry Tate ? Where will you find a Pig , Possum and Plastic Parrot ? John Horton has compiled a comprehensive A-Z of aircraft names. The book explores evocative names such as the Aardvark , which refers to the General Dynamics F-111 and its modus operandi rather than its appearance as a great long nose grubbing the dirt. The subculture of informal and colloquial names has remained vigorous and inventive throughout the century and models from World War I to Vietnam are covered. Such names not only tend to be humourous and anecdotal, but also reveal the more interesting characteristics of the aircraft concerned.
