Because it was ugly if nothing else’’. Rather. I've always been struck by how we gave bold and brash names to our bombers like “The Flying Fortress’’ and “The Liberator’’, reflecting I suppose the young and brash nation we were. Whee Brits gave their bombers rather up scale, genteel sounding names like “The Wellington'', The Handley-Page, The Bristol Blenheim and The Lancaster. Aircraft that said "I say old boy, I'm coming round tonight to bomb you, say 8 ish? Do be home, there's a good chap''.
