That's my little homage to the period news reports of the time. Those magnificent men in their military machines. It is amazing how much military terminology or at least the commonly used terminology has changed over the last 75 years. Who talks of Land Ships (Tanks), Flying Machines (Fighter Aeroplanes) and Robots (Unmanned vengeance weapons) these days? All commonplace back when.
