The distinguished English Col. Lance was describing to his American hostess how he got some of his decorations in WWI: You see, there were 3 fokkers behind me and 2 fokkers above me...
An American guest interrupted: I think we should explain to our hostess that a fokker is a German plane.
The Col replied: Quite right, gov'ner - but these fokkers were Messerschmidts
Cheers -
LeeH Did I get it right?
