Re: USAAF Nicknames for Fighter Aircraft

Barry -
U.S. Pilots often used the term " The Bird " , " My Bird ".
P-47 Pilots often called their A/C " Jug "
as the shape resembled a Milk Jug.
Pilots also referred to their A/C as " She " , " Her ".
" She " was ready to go. I took " Her " down on the deck.
