"Geez Boss - I reeeally don't want to take this Junker over the channel! Howzabout I saddle up in this cute little Fokker instead?"

Maybe that's why Japan and Germany allied. Watching a cloud of Junkers or Messyshits go up against a buncha Zeroes would have been kinda rough on the old national prestige thing.

We, on the other hand, had all these planes with car names. Mustang. Lightning. Spitfire. Vista Cruiser.

"Flight this is Red Six. Lone bogey four o'clock low."
