Aviation Trivia Thread

[ToiletDuck]

This thread is dedicated to Aviation Trivia. I have many questions I've found in several books and I've made a list.

I'll ask one question and give it time for someone to answer before asking the next.
I will provide clues so that hopefully someone will think of the answer!!!
Please refrain from chating in this thread.
Please refrain from using 'Google' or any other means of searching.
If the answer is not stated then I will provide it.

We are on the honor system here
Good Luck!!!

That is incorrect but very good try!

Question 2:

What is it called when an aircraft drops a bomb next to a ship instead of on it to sink it?

Clue #1 The tactic was made by a general who performed the first bombing of a ship infront of Congress, military figures, and several members of the media to prove that aircraft bombing could work. The ship was a german destroyer that was captured. It had 4 walls in it so that it could survive hitting mines. However it was sank in a matter of minutes by the planes using this procedure.
