coolest "name" for aircraft

[flying buick]

Personally, I like the sound of the p-40 Warhawk. Hurricane sounds like a pretty good name for an aircraft too.

But in the words of a comedian the hurricane can be described as "exciting at first but ends in disaster."


Just kidding, I love the hurricane. However I've fallen in love with the La-7 now.

The "Fairey Battle" light bomber sounds more like a punch up in a gay bar.

Couldnt it have been decent at ground attack? With that huge ass turret for defense?

A Sergeant Rear Gunner shot down a German Bf-109 D over the French - German border during the 1939 "Phoney War" period about 6 months before the Blitz Kreig started.

The Fairey Battle was the RAFs first all metal aircraft, was the first aircraft to fly with the Rolls Royce Merlin engine (unsupercharged) and was the first RAF aircraft to carry a 0.50" Calibre HMG (right wing mounted). It also had its bomb bays in the wings.

Top speed was 247 MPH.

Number still flying today is one example in Canada.
