An elderly RAF veteran was giving a talk at an all girls school...
He was called in to give a motivational talk about British moral during the war, and was trying to explain what a typical mission would be like.
"So there I was, escorting the bombers to their target, when out of the blue, we became surround by a pack of these Fokkers. I had two Fokkers in either side, one behind me, and another Fokker coming at me head on...”
The head mistress interrupts and quickly says, "Children I should explain, the Fokker was a type of figher airplane used by the German Air Force to stop the RAF bombers and their escorts."
The old veteran nodded and said:
"Yes ma’am! Great planes! But the Fokkers I've been telling you about were flying Messerschmitts!"
