An old Irish World War II Spitfire pilot and flying ACE, was speaking in a
church and reminiscing about his war experiences. "In 1942," he says, "the
situation was really tough. The Germans had a very strong air force I
remember," he continues, "one day I was protecting the bombers and
suddenly, out of the clouds, these Fokkers appeared."
There are a few gasps from the parishioners, and several of the children
began to giggle. "I looked up, and realized that two of the Fokkers were
directly above me. I aimed at the first one and shot him down. By then,
though, the other Fokker was right on my tail."
At this point, several of the elderly ladies of the church were blushing
with embarrassment, the girls were all giggling and the boys laughing
loudly.
The pastor finally stands up and says, "I think I should point out that
'Fokker' was the name of a German-Dutch aircraft company, who made many of
the planes used by the Germans during the war."
"Yes, that's true," says the old pilot, "but these fokkers were flying
Messerschmitts."
