What makes it a fa- vorite is the fact that the daily bombing of the capital in the dark days of last November ended abruptly when this snub-nosed bird first appeared. The Spaniards immediately dubbed it a “chato.” That's’ Spanish for any snub-nosed thing. Chatos are made under A'mer- jean patents. So is the next in yank, the “mosca.” “Mosca” Means “fly.” Anyone who has seen these tiny, speedy craft in gl buzzing around annoying enemy until the more deadly ehatos can got into action know they are well named. So popular have the pet names become that even official govern- ment bulletins use the terms freely.
