Aloha,
Well, as a preparation for beginning revision of my #2 blog post about
gremlins, I did one last search, for "gremlins WWII." It turned up this
speculative paper, introducing me to some intriguing notions like
"thrust pixies" and "lift demons."
<<LIFT DEMONS AND THRUST PIXIES>>
<<Title of Paper: The Role of Lift Demons and Thrust Pixies in Heavier
Than Air Flight>>
<<Publication Date: 2004>>
<<Abstract: The role of Lift Demons in aeronautics was first explained
in 1994 by Mary Shafer (NASA). Since then, Shafer's work has been
explored and revised. This paper summarizes advances in Lift Demon
technology over the last decade.>>
