Solo para fanáticos de la aeronaval o aviación embarcada.

Clikando aquí puede leerse, en francés, un relato sobre un día en la vida de un "yellow dog" o "perro amarillo", un oficial componente del equipo de encargados del movimento y catapultado de aviones en la cubierta de vuelo de un portaaviones y reconocibles por el color de su chaleco y camisa.

Los armeros y que llevan chaleco rojo (como los bomberos), son llamados, en Francia, los "boum"...

Coronel Von Rohaut
