(For ex.: The old myth that a rotary-engine airplane can turn 270 degrees right fast than 90 degrees left was debunked a few years ago; the problem was: It took almost 100 years for performance-monitoring tech to become light enough to mount on WW1 airplanes without materially affecting the airplane's performance; meanwhile, the Bunk became "set in stone", to where every single WW1-air-combat game has it....)

So I look at these designs, and try to see the Story behind them; and when I make my own designs, I try to have some sort of Story for it. And, as noted: Every car has some sort of backstory, even if it's just the blurb in the _Vehicle Guide_.

I am also a Historian by training!
