( and for becoming the Duke of Wellington) 3. Winfield Scott (old fuss and feathers). 6. I think the Union tended to name for geographical features and the Confederates for cities, but the only example that comes to mind is Antietam (Union) v. Sharpsburg (CSA). 7. A Brevet rank was temporary (for the duration of the war). USA rank was regular army, and USV was a volunteer commission. 8. He was followed by Pope (briefly) then regained command after the 2nd Bull Run, and then was followed by Burnside, Hooker, and Meade. 10. Gen. John Sedgwick. 11. Stonewall Jackson. 12. Hiram 13. Foch 14. Petain 15. Hindenburg 16. Heavy? (i.e. B17's) 17. Flying Fortress 19. Belly of the Aircraft 20. Truman instead of FDR [/QUOTE]
