Mitch, yes quite odd; it was the French who gave us the words aileron
and fuselage, in their aeronautical contexts. Then came the first
aeroplane war, which was this side of the pond, and as ever, war is a
catalyst to technological development.
It most definitely swung back the other way in the 1930s though,
particularly in civil aviation.
