    Liltle Johnny brings his grandfather into class one day to tell the children some of his WWII airforce stories.
    "We were deep over enemy territory, and it was a bad scrape, I can tell you kiddies. There were Fokkers to our left, Fokkers to our right, Fokkers above us, Fokkers below, there were even Fokkers behind us" began his grandfather.
    "Sorry to interupt sir, but I'd better explain to the children that you were referring to the Dutch make of aeroplane, the Fokker used by the Luftwaffe, the German airforce" interjected Johnny's teacher.
    "Well that's where you're wrong, sonny, these fokkers were Messerschmitts, and boy did those germans know how to fly the fokkers."
