What is a falker airplane?

Answer 1

You might be thinking of a Fokker airplane. There are many types. Famously, the Red Baron flew a Fokker in the World War 1 (also called the "Great War" before we had the sense to number them.) An old joke about Fokkers goes like this: During WWII, a Dutch fighter pilot went to talk to some schoolchildren. He had them all riveted with his stories of the Battle of Britain, until he mentioned one particular fight. "And den, coming up on my tail der vas dis Fokker I hadn't seen..."

One of the little boys giggled. The teacher frowned at the little boy and interrupted. "I think I should explain here, because we clearly have a very ignorant class of silly little boys, that the Fokker company are a well known German plane manufacturer, and there's nothing whatsoever funny about their name."

The pilot turned to the teacher. "Dis is very true. But dat Fokker -- dat Fokker I vas saying vas coming up on my tail out of de sun and starting to strafe me? Dat Fokker vas a Messerschmitt!"
