Yes, it was invented by a colonel of the British Army.
Winston Churchill was a Lieutenant-Colonel in World War I, and Prime Minister of the United Kindom during World War II.
He was NOT the youngest fighter pilot. My Uncle, Paul Coari, was the youngest fighter pilot in World War II. But - I guess since Bush was the president - people think it's okay that he claims to be the youngest fighter pilot, even though he was not.
