1939 – First flight of the German Focke-Wulf Fw 190 fighter-bomber airplane.

The ladies Tea & Crochet Society president addressed the group.
Ladies, we have a guest speaker today who was on a ship from England to Murmansk Russia when is was attack by the German air force... Mister Swen Olson.
(polite applause)
Well there were, a convoy in the cold North Sea, headed to Murmansk with a shipload of tanks the Russians needed badly on the eastern front. Suddenly this focker comes at us.
(polite group gasp)
Then another focker and another folker, they just came relentlessly…. focker focker focker... So finally we shot all those fockers down and got to Murmansk.
As president I should explain, ladies, Mr Olson was speaking of aircraft made by Fock-Wulf Aircraft Company, right Mr Olson.
Oh no, ma’am , these fockers were messerschmitts.
