The Vought SB2U Vindicator was nicknamed the Vibrator or Wind Indicator, the British also got a batch they called the Chesapeake, and the crews refered to as Cheasecakes. Not well respected dive bomber I'm guessing. :whistle:

While not exactly oozing coolness I like the LaGG-3 which Soviet pilots called the Varnished Guaranteed Coffin due to its varnished wood construction.

The FW-190's nickname Butcher Bird sounds like it means business.

The Vindicator wasn't the "Vibrator", that was the BT-13 Valiant, built by Vultee.
