WW II Planes & Sexual Identity

[uwe]

You think you have lived to be 80 and know who you are ...

Then along comes someone and blows it all to hell: 

"An old Marine pilot sat down at the Starbucks, still wearing his old USMC flight suit and leather jacket and ordered a cup of coffee. As he sat sipping his coffee, a young gorgeous woman sat down next to him. She turned to the pilot, smiled and asked, 'Are you a real pilot?' Pullling himself up a little he replied, 'Well, I've spent my whole life flying planes, first Stearmans, then the early Grummans... flew a Wildcat and Corsair in WWII, and later in the Korean conflict, Banshees and Cougars. I've taught more than 260 people to fly and given rides to hundreds, so I guess I am a pilot, and you, what are you?

The gorgeous lady answers, 'Me, I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about naked women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about naked women. When I shower, I think about naked women. When I watch TV, I think about naked women. It seems everything makes me think of naked women ...'

The old pilot nods politely and the two sat sipping in silence. A little while later, a young man sat down on the other side of the old pilot and asked: "Are you a real pilot?" The veteran hesitates, weighing his words carefully: 'I always thought I was, but I just found out I'm a lesbian."

I'm really of way more German ancestry, however I'll nod to a bit of my Italian heritage here. I think this plane pretty much hits the nail on the head, a Caproni Maroni C-2 "Scud", a *Bi* directional aircraft design to instantly change direction and therefore become part of a former enemy's in flight attacking force.....

Mark, I am compelled to note that the plane goes both ways.

Finally! A functional example of Italian design

If it's Italian, it was probably designed that way to allow the pilot to fly away from the battle - regardless of where it is.

Mark only likes it because it was made to be propelled into something.

Reminds me of the German war jokes how Italian tanks had only one forward, but four rear drive gears!

They turned them round and called them Ferrari's...
