In WW2 ging er een legende rond(ook bij piloten) dat kleine boosaardige trollen monsters de gremlins de vliegtuigen van de R.A.F. zouden saboteren.
Disney zou er zelfs een tekenfilm over maken......

Gremlins Mythe
-
American Dawn
Generally good-natured, gremlins usually behave badly when they are pulling a prank.
Gremlins are goblins that haunt the air, traumatizing pilots and air travelers by suddenly swooping up from their underground pits around airports and landing strips and grabbing a plane's wing.
They are green in colour and covered with mossy hair, and they use their webbed feet to suction onto airplanes and other industrial machines.
They empty full fuel tanks, disorient the gauges in the cockpit, and cause turbulence.
An old wives' tale claims that when you hear thunder, the rumbling comes from the gremlins' favorite pastime, sky bowling.
As technology advances, gremlins have found new arenas in which to play their tricks; computers, telephones, and televisions are only a few of the modern machines they now haunt.
Gremlin:
Gremlins are spirits of tools and machinery. They are thought to be responsible for mishaps and breakdowns with tools and equipment. Each house has an Gremlin which entered the house as an occupant of an household appliance. Originally Gremlins were friendly towards mankind and helped engineers and inventors build things but when these people took all the credit the Gremlins were insulted and from that point on they work against us.
