Les / Creative Edge Photo Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 WWII era prop names. Corsair Spitfire Hell Cat Blackwidow WWII era (Heavies) props. Flying Fortress Lancaster Maurader Post WWII props. Trojan Sea Fury Skyraider Post WWII (heavies) props. Constellation Spectra Bear (Nato codename) Jets (light/fighter/attack). Starfighter Voodoo Sea Vixen Jets (heavies). Vulcan Lancer Stratofortress Helicopters. Havoc (Nato codename) Cobra Labrador I'm sure I missed some but these all appeal to me.

Joe Hegedus Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 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. 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
