[WWI] Nicknames

[Crawford Neil]

A lot of the nicknames, and aeroplane names that are bandied about in
aeroplane mags and on the net are made up after the event.
I've never believed the Beaufighter was called the whispering death by the
Japanese, that sounds like typical propaganda to me. The Curtiss CW21
wasn't called the Demon,  somebody just mis-read the abbreviation for
demonstrator. And I'm not going to go into the nonsensical names they
have invented for late WW2 german prototypes.
Do we have any mythical names and nicknames for WW1 aeroplanes?
