 1962 United States Tri-Service aircraft designation system -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)

The rise of the multi-role fighter in the decades since the system was introduced have created some confusion about the difference between ((military) an offensive against an enemy (using weapons)) attack and (A high-speed military or naval airplane designed to destroy enemy aircraft in the air) fighter aircraft.
Aircraft which are modified after manufacture or even built for a different mission to the standard airframe of a particular design are assigned a modified mission code.

 RLM aircraft designation system   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The RLM aircraft designationsystem was a an attempt by a the aviation bureaucracy of the ThirdReich to standardize and produce a identifier for each aircraft type produced in Germany.
When the RLM (Reichsluftfahrtministerium "Reich Aviation Ministry") was given control of the country's aviationactivities in 1933 it set out to catalogue both aircraft already in production by various manufacturers as well as new projects approved fordevelopment by the ministry.
Finally, the RLM occasionally deliberately took advantage of the confusion as a disinformation strategy, for example by numbering the Messerschmitt Me 163 the same as a previous, cancelledMesserschmitt aircraft, the Messerschmitt Bf 163.

This system was abandoned in 1943, when it was decided that revealing the year of an aircraft's entry into service might give useful information to the enemy.
