(1) This week's quote refers to the hovercraft, invented by Sir Christopher Cockerell, born this day 1910. After failing to get funding from the armed forces to develop his vehicle, the engineer joked that the navy said it was a plane not a boat, the air force said it was a boat not a plane, and the army was plain not interested.
