Subject: [Leica] Trivia question...

    Do we have any aviation buffs here?

The bumblebee comments have prompted this.

During the early days of WW2, the Martin B26 Marauder was
sometimes compared with a bumblebee.  It was also called
"The Flying Prostitute"

Who knows the origins or rational for that nickname?
