How Allied and Axis pilots referred to German planes in conversation
From 12 O'Clock High!:
NickM How do we say their names? Sat Dec 18, 2024 08:17 64.85.244.44 I am curious about the proper way to say the alfa numeric names of the Me 110/210/410 fighters; I know, for example english speaking pilots called the Me 109 the 'one-oh-nine'; the FW, the 'one-ninety'; what would it be for the twin engine Me's? Would Me110 be the 'one-one-oh'(which to me that seems a bit awkward) or the 'one-ten'? Does anyone know? Thanks ahead of time NickM

Jukka Juutinen Not sure how... Sat Dec 18, 2024 12:07 213.28.164.191 ..others say it but I usually (in Finnish) use e.g. for the Bf 110 "hundred ten" ("satakymppi").

Jon Eeles Might help ??? Sat Dec 18, 2024 12:49 195.92.168.170 I have alway thought it is One One Oh, or One Oh Nine. I am sure most veterans call them this way but bet that each country will have its own way.

George Hopp The Germans called the 109 the ... Sat Dec 18, 2024 16:36 134.117.137.36 "one hundred nine" and the 110 the "one hundred ten." So, I imagine they just carried that on with the "two hundred ten" and "four hundred ten." George

NickM Thanks to all who replied... Mon Dec 20, 2024 06:24 64.85.244.44 Ron, funny thing is I PERSONALLY use the expression 'one-ten', 'two-ten', 'four-ten'...I was made curious by having watched the old 'Masterpiece Theater' miniseries, 'A Piece of Cake' (one of my favorite WW2 novels, I might add); in there the RAF pilots referred to it as the 'one-one-oh', so I was JUST curious if I was using the wrong expression. thanks again! NickM
