Flying Aircraft Carriers: The Navy’s Next Game Changer?
Story by Peter Suciu • Yesterday 7:45 AM
 
There is an often-told story of how the British hard rock band Led Zeppelin came up with its name.

The newly formed group had finished some of the obligatory concert schedule of the late-1960s "supergroup" The Yardbirds.

Initially dubbed simply "The New Yardbirds," the band changed their name after Keith Moon of The Who suggested they would go down like a lead balloon – and hence Led Zeppelin.
 
That piece of rock music trivia may have little connection with military history, apart from the fact that Led Zeppelin II was based on a photograph of the Jagdstaffel 11 Division of the Imperial German Air Force – also known as the "Flying Circus" and led by Manfred von Richthofen (the Red Baron).

I think someone has been spending too much time watching the Marvel movies.
