Having spent most of the years 1938 - 1945 in a boat in the north sea pulling downed pilots out of the drink (he served in the RAF sea rescue service), he only ever saw planes from a unique viewpoint. When my brother and I asked him to identify the planes in the WWII section, he would usually answer words to the effect of "I'm not sure... but if you set it alight and drop it from a height, I'd have a fairly good stab".
