Second, we have a guy come along and says this "aircraft mechanics used beer cans to repair battle-damaged aircraft" are you freaking kidding me with this? No need to go any further with this troll.

Don, for a post that's supposed to be in fun I feel you are being a little offensive here.
I wasn't in the war but I think with a bit of research you would find this is probably true info this fellow posted.
When you had "no" proper material to do a job, you made do with what you could find.
Aluminum cans used to be 2 to 3 times thicker than they are now and would make a fine patch on an aluminum plane (or boat for that matter)
Better than flying around with a 2 inch hole in the side.
