Army, Navy Officially
Adopt Popular Names
For Aircraft Types
Acting to lessen some of the confus
ion among the civilian population re
garding the names of military air
craft, and to aid the general public
more easily to identify the planes men
tioned in press dispatches from the
battle fronts, the Army and Navy have
officially recognized the popular
names which have become associated
with the various models.
This practice has long been common
in England, with the names “Spitfire”
and “Hurricane” becoming almost
household words both there and in this
country. The British have also adop
ted certain names for American-built
aircraft and, with few exceptions
these names have been retained on this
side of the water.
Since many of these planes have
earned fame, it was felt that this prac
tice should be maintained rather than
attempt to plant new and perhaps
conflicting terms in the minds of the
civilian population. Certain minor
changes have been made by the Army
and Navy in accepting the popular
names. Thus, the Curtiss P-40 series,
models which have been known as the
“Tomahawk,” “Kittyhawk,” and “War-
hawk,” will be known now only as the
“Warhawk.’'
One important exception to the rule
of adopting the British names is the
Navy’s carrier fighter, the Grumman
“Wildcat.” In the Fleet Air Arm of
the Royal Navy, this plane is called the
“Marlet.” Against the Japanese
the “Wildcat” has made the reputa
tion of being the best carrier-based
fighter in the world. To help the
American public follow this plane’s
exploits in action with the Fleet
Air Arm, the Royal Navy has been
requested to consider adopting the
American name of “Wildcat.”
In carrying out this plane-naming
plan, the manufacturers’ suggested
names were given first consideration
and, unless there was good reason,
these suggestions were approved.
