Sounds like an ad campaign before my time. :-) Some aircraft named after plants: ? Spruce goose (of course, that's not it's real name) Hmmm. I considered that but wasn't sure whether it would fly - I guess my thinking was rather wooden. Ahem. Some aircraft named after land animals: Cub! You forgot the cub? I forgot or overlooked a lot! But I think "cub" is perhaps a little too broad since it can mean "the young of certain carnivorous mammals such as the bear or wolf or lion": http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=cub By the way, I used this site as one source (very handy): http://marchairmuseum.com/rouen01.php "This list of 2892 airplane names (on ten pages) was compiled by Ed Rouen, who for many years was the chief cataloger of the library at the San Diego Aerospace Museum." |
