I'm hoping we can all learn stuff together. I like learning stuff. There's nothing more to it.

So, this week, I ask for a minimum of two paragraphs telling me what your favorite WWII Axis Power fighter aircraft was. No, not a bomber - but a dedicated fighter.

Hopefully, you can write two paragraphs about it. Feel free to write more.

Yeah, I'd known they were confiscated and that they'd built some transports. I don't think Fokker (themselves) made any WWII aircraft for the Axis Powers.

Meh, close enough - however. I mean, who doesn't want to make jokes about Fokker?

Heck, I want to make jokes about his lineage - just so I can say "Mother Fokker."

Hmm... Maybe next week I will do WWI fighters. I'd probably go with the Sopwith Camel or the Fokker Wolf (though I think they might have spelled that differently - wolfe maybe?). I think it was the Fokker that was the first to synchronize their machine gun firing so that it'd not hit the props. Prior to that, the English (maybe the French) had set deflectors in the way on at least one aircraft.

It's been a long time since I've reviewed/studied WWI aviation, so my memories are pretty faded.

Still, i now want to make jokes like, "Watch out for that Fokker over there, he's an asshole!"

Yeah see? The jokes just want to be made. I would have said Fokker regardless of which side of the war you mentioned.

If they let me name planes, I'd have called one "Sister."

"Fokker Sister" just has a certain ring to it.

I'm sure, "Inthearse" means something in some language.

It's all coming out now old man. I always knew it.

Inthearse

Sounds welsh.
