Simulator vs Trainer

I recently posted an account of a B-26 mounted in a hanger used for training
purposes. I called it a simulator. But as I think back I begin to realise that
we never called it a simulator at that time. I think we called it "The trainer
in the hanger". And it makes sense since we called the Link Trainer a trainer,
not a simulator. I think the term simulater is a far more modern term that was
not generally used in 1943. This is an addendum to that original post.
