The Navy system wasn't bizzarre.

The Navy system had multiple designations for virtually identical aircraft.
That's bizarre.

It made it easy to identiy a/c (mental

No easier than the USAAF/USAF system, which had the advantages of order and

But.

The USAAF/USAF system didn't permit any fun aircraft, like B1RDs.
