Dictionary of International Aircraft Nicknames, Variants & Colloquial Terms
Description:
A comprehensive A-Z of aircraft names which is as rich and fascinating as the history of aviation itself. Explores evocative names such as the Seven Day Bus, the Supermarine PB9, and the Aardvark, which refers to the General Dynamics F-111 and its modus operandi. Horton covers models from World War I to Vietnam. Such names not only tend to be humorous and anecdotal in nature, but also reveal the more interesting characteristics of the aircraft concerned. This dictionary is a long overdue contribution to our knowledge of a significant part of aircraft history and offers a rare and unique insight into the international language and culture of aviation.
