During last years Memorial Day celebration ceremonies at the ladies Garden Club, Mrs. Finer introduced Mr. Hower.
She stated that Mr. Hower was a Swedish citizen that had volunteered to fly with the English Air Force during World War 2, against the Germans.
Mr. Hower stood in front of all the ladies and began telling about his flying exploits, describing several dog fights he had been involved in.
"Der I wasss, flying at 3500 feet. I had Fulkers coming at me from the left and the right, thier guns blazing. I had dees Fulkers behind me and below me. I dove towards der groundt to hopefully get dees Fulkers offa my tail...."
At this time Mrs. Finer interrupted Mr. Hower's story and explained to the ladies sitting spellbound in the hall, "Ladies, I want to tell you that the Fulkers Mr, Hower is talking about were German aircraft."
Mr. Hower exclaimed to Mrs. Hower and the ladies. You betcha - But doess Fulkers were Messersmits!
AHHhhh yes! The innocence of youth. A Fokker, (pronounced foh-ker), was a propeller driven fighter plane used by the Germans in WWII. I think that Messersmits, also a German fighter plane, were made by a different company.
Hope this helps you.

Actually, Fokker was most famous for his aircraft for the Germans in WWI. (think Red Baron) After the Treaty of Versailles, he fled to the Netherlands, and started building civilian aircraft. His company also made some war aircraft for the Allies and Finland.
The jist of the joke is the woman was mistaking the guys use of the word Fokker with his accent, and thought he meant the plane, but she had the wrong war. So she was thinking of the WWI plane, and he was just calling them names.
(For more reference, during WWII, the Germans had three major aircraft companies, Messerschmitt (ME-109, ME-262, etc), Junkers (JU-88, etc), and Heinkel (HE-111). To the lesser extent, which could possibly also be referenced by the joke was the other company Focke-Wulf.)

To the people listining it sounded like he was saying Fulkers, but he was really droping the F-bomb. When the lady said that Fulkers were planes, he said "You betcha- But those F***ers were Messersmits."
