Intersesting fact: during world war 2 British aircract carriers were safer than their American counterparts because they had armored flight decks while the American ones had wooden flight decks.

Interesting fact. The French would be speaking Russian now if not for us.

Another interesting fact, we singlehandedly won the Pacific war long after the Brits realized they couldn't do anything for fear of the Germans and sailed away from their Asian empire.

Here is another interesting fact from the glories of Royal Navy Aviation.

The Fairly Barracuda

During the earlier part of its service life, the Barracuda suffered a fairly high rate of unexplained fatal crashes, often involving experienced pilots. In 1945 this was traced to small leaks developing in the hydraulic system. The most common point for the leak was at the point of entry to the pilot's pressure gauge and was situated such that the resulting spray went straight into the pilot's face. The chosen hydraulic fluid contained ether and as the aircraft rarely were equipped with oxygen masks (and few aircrew wore them below 10,000 ft/3,000 m anyway) the pilot quickly became unconscious leading to a crash. An Admiralty order issued at the end of May 1945 required all examples of the type to be oxygen fitted as soon as possible, and for pilots to use the system at all times.
