Dandy Roll Results, but not final

[Hutch]

I once heard the Immelman described as "two shots at your target for
the price of one". The pilot attacks, firing as he approaches, passes
the target and performs the Immelman turn (half-loop with half-roll)
and fires on the target from the opposite side.

Like many stunts, it was pioneered by Adolph Pegoud  (1889-1913), but has been the "dandy roll" in the US since American stunt pilots, returning home from WWI explained it to each other as having been developed by a "French dandy".   By Fran, 3 points or 5, if Pierre's vote was for her def.  (2 points, David R, plus 1 point correct guess, with possible 2 points from PA). Fran hopes she won't win, as she will be away for a while.
