Some of these questions aren't to hard. The only one that really got me was Tora Tora Tora. But as for the P-47 being called a JUG...A JUG is short for Juggernaut (sp?). The reason it was called this is because this flying tank could take a lot of damage. Although it probably couldn't take anymore damage than a p-51 could, but it was good for propaganda. And as for P-51 ACE, There is only one. He's name is 'Bud' Anderson. He was a triple ACE who flew 116 missions. If I'm wrong please correct me.

Now for the D-Day question, well that could be a trick question. There were many invasions that took place on D-Day and I just dont mean June 6, 1944. D-Day was just a code word meanind that on that day a military event would take place. For example June 1 Could be D-Day minus three, I think it was said another way, but I forgot. But D-Day can mean any number of invasions.

Here's a easy one. What was the code name for the M-262 Jet Fighter when it was first being built?
