190 was called the butcher bird or Wurger (species of shrike)

spitfire IX i think got the nickname the Lady well at least Johnny johnson refered to it like that

wasnt the p40B the kittyhawk or something?

the ju88 ive never seen refered to as stuka. stuka was a derivative of sturzkamppfflugzeug(describes all dive bombers) and was used for the ju87.Schnellbomber was used however

me110 was the Zerstorer

U on the end of the Yak-9U stands for "Uluchshennyi" - means improved

HanaG · « **Reply #21 on:** December 31, 2002, 12:48:04 PM »

Hiya,salem

Some IJA/IJN fighter pilots often give codename/nickname for US planes.
These codenames are ''kind of fish''.

forexample,
p-51 was called ''Katuobushi''.
Katuobushi is ''Smoked Bonito''
Its traditional Japanese@Preserved@food. It shape looks ''tear drop''style.

p-38 was called ''Mezashi'' or ''pero-hachi''.
Mezashi is traditional Japanese fish food also.
its mean ''a Skewer pierced through head of small Sardines.''
plz watch this pic.... http://www.rakuten.co.jp/btoc/img1015215805.jpeg
and, ''pero''is ''sound of easy eat'' in japanese.
''hachi''is ''eight''.
so,zero-fighter pilots called p-38''easy eat 8'' because they can shot them easyly.

heavy bomber with 4 engins called ''Kuzzira''.
Kuzzira is ''Whale''.

btw, u know Japanese movie monster''Gozzira''?
''Gozzira''mean King of animal of sea''Kuzzira'' and King of animal of gungle''Gorilla''.

sorry my poor English & transrations.
can u understand?

Ki.67 = Mitsubishi Ki.67-I Hiryu "Peggy"

HanaG · « **Reply #24 on:** January 01, 2003, 06:20:16 AM »

Foreign peoples often call japanese warplane ''a6m2'', ''Ki-~~'',''n1k2'' etc etc.

but, these number are not faimous nameing in japan.
These are ''Factory/production codename''.

IJN factory/production codename rule.
1st word is ''kind of plane''.
2nd word is ''Production number''.
3rd word is ''factory name''.
4th~5th word is ''modefied number''.

for example, ''A6m5b''
A is ''carrier fighter''.
6 is ''6th plan''
m is ''Mitubish''
5 is ''5th modefied''
b is ''type of little modefied'' Kou is a, otsu is b, hei is c, tei is d, bo is e.

for example, ''N1k2-J''
N is Floated-fighter (sea fighter)
1 is ''1st plan''
k is ''kawanishi''
2 is ''2nd modefied''
J is ''fighter for ground landing''

But, These are Factory codenames.
We -and many pilots at ww2 era- call them ''Type zero model 52 'Otsu' '',
and ''Shisen model21'' or ''Shiden-kai''.
Its Army/Navy's formal names & nicknames.

I know many intersting thing about IJA/IJN planes.
but I can not talk English very well. plz excuse me.

hazed- · « **Reply #27 on:** January 02, 2003, 01:57:23 PM »

just read the allied code name for n1kj was "REX"

very unimaginative

also i just saw a reference to the IL2 being called 'The flying infrantryman' by the russian ground troops.not an official name but a cool one none the less

ja, sturmbird is JaBo version, no? maybe you can call it sturmbird if you use it for strafing...
also i would like to note that 'dora' is the term for any 'D' model A/C, not just the 190...our 'stuka' is also a 'dora' & likewise 190A & Ju88A are both 'anton', etc

I think the name you guys are (repeatedly) stumbling over is “Sturmvogel”, seeing how “bird” isn’t a German word

F4UDOA · « **Reply #29 on:** January 03, 2003, 09:22:19 AM »

HanaG,

That is great stuff. I understand perfectly. Do you have anymore of those code names?

F6F, F4U, P-47 etc.?

Sounds like the Japanese name for the P-51 was very similar to the american name which was the flying spam can, more preserved meat.
