Indeed.
And then there are the folks, who refer to what might rate
as an FFG only by courtesy, as a "battleship".

They are simply taking ' battleship' to mean 'ship for battle'.
Warship in other words. Not as important to get it right, now that all
the proper BB have gone.

More a century, yes, for *aircrafts* ; for *fighters* I guess we're
still 5-7 years prior of a century of Fighters.... (depend on one's
interpretation of what bird was the first Fighter...)

Uh Dottore, thats "aircraft" not "aircrafts". Plural same as
singular. Like "moose" and "moose".

Not to worry Dottore, my best friend, and Israeli, constantly says
"sheeps" for the plural of "sheep" which is absolutely hilarious: "See
any sheeps today?" As we're often referring to the ridiculous attire
of Japanese girls for wedding receptions, where the slightly shorter
than Western legs attached to a sinking bottom are poking out from
under a fluffed-up dress, and similarly puffed-up hairstyles decorate
the top. You get the idea!

Aside that I refer to J-Girls as "Foemina Japonicus" (subtly pointing
that they're a different stock of women) I roughly agree about japanese
girl's dressing; I think that is because of the tendency of Japanese
legs to being not exactly straight; but I disagree about sinking
bottoms; I take this for what in this part of Italy we call "culi bassi"
that is, bottoms whose are low; In my experience with Japanese girls,
both in pics and in RL, I think the standard definition I give for their
asses is "flat" ("Culo piatto"), that is, aren't bulging from the back.

I guess that this stem from the Latin vs. German POV on female Aesthetic

Best regards from Italy,

Morane-Saulnier, Roland Garros used a set of steel wedges to deflect
the rounds that hit the propeller. He eventually shot down, by a
rifleman, and landed behind the German lines. The Germans looked at
the idea and rejected it, turned the problem over to Anthony Fokker
who had been working on the problem of forward-firing machine guns and
came up with synchronized firing using an interrupter cam.

The EI and EII generally used a single Spandau MG with 500 rounds, the
EIII eventually added a second gun.

The mythology that we are taught here in America is that he was
blipping his motor during an attack on a railway station and he
couldn't get the engine to 'un-blip. What followed, I imagine, was a
pregnant silence, then a blast of French vitriol, and ultimately a
hand-delivered war prize. Fokker's reply resulted in the most radical
advance in air warfare to date. I may have the details convoluted; I
suffer from "too many books read", with too many variations between
them - and you can never tell which version is really giving the right
story.
