Bald Eagle, I've been told about the beat of the engines by people who were around and to whom the difference was important. It isn't like the RAF fliers eating carrots story.

I was also told, though I don't know the background to this one, that Jerry-built referred to Jericho - ie, a huff and a puff and the work would fall down.
