    Probably something like an M1 knife. Americans sure seem to like naming everything the M something.

    Close. It's complete title was the M-1 Trench Knife. First issued in WWI it was replaced by by the Ka-Bar which was an excellent fighting knife. I carried a Ka-Bar in Vietnam.

    I declare my answer close enough! My turn!

    What was the main fighter aircraft used by the RAAF?

    The Boomerang?

    Not sure it was the most numerous...but it was home grown.



    (and for the record - other then the first question about the Mustang...I don't look up my answers. Though it does not bother me if others do.)

    Nope. It was the first fighter aircraft designed and built in Australia though.

    No, Australia was only switching over to them when the war ended. I don't believe any Australian Mustangs saw action during WW2. They did during Korea though.

    "Pflugzeug"? ("Flugzeug"="aeroplane", "Pflug"= plough) a translation could be "ploughplane"

    That's easy - the opera "I'm Sitting In My Bunker" from Walter Moers. He - Hitler - liked to sing it together with one of his Hitler-dogs in his Hitler-bathroom on his Hitler-planet Hitler-earth.

    Yes, Wagner was the composer. I have to sign off until later this afternoon so I'll give you the answer. Reinzi.

    Please take the next turn.

    Perhaps the Mäh-109 is not prime?

    The Polikarpov I-16 was nicknamed the rat in the Spanish civil war, I guess for it's stubby appearance.

    I had Rommel in mind. He wrote "Attack", based of his experiences in ww1.

    Good job!
