[mod.note:  At the risk of ruining a perfectly good joke, but to
prevent any confusion among less knowledgable readers, the "fixed
propeller," in this content, refers to a fixed-pitch propeller, as
opposed to the later variable-pitch props which allowed the pilot
to vary the angle of the propeller blades.  - Bill ]
