Aircraft recognition is a visual skill taught to military personnel and civilian auxiliaries since the introduction of military aircraft in World War I. It is important for air defense and military intelligence gathering. Aircraft recognition generally depends on learning the external appearance of the aircraft both friendly and hostile most likely to be encountered. Techniques used to teach this information have included scale models printed silhouette charts slide projectors computer aided instruction and even specially-printed playing cards. In the United Kingdom The Royal Observer Corps ROC was formed as a defence warning organization with civilians trained in aircraft recognition and operated primarily as such between 1925 and 1957. Aircraft recognition was first developed between the First and Second World wars when aerial warfare was first recognized as a future threat after 208 Zeppelin and 435 aircraft raids over London during the First World War. In 1917 Germany had started using fixed-wing bombers and the number of airship raids diminished rapidly. To answer this new threat Major General Edward Bailey Ashmore a First World War pilot who had later been in command of an artillery division in Belgium was appointed to devise improved systems of detection communication and control. The Metropolitan Observation Service was created covering the London area known as the London Air Defence Area and was soon extended to the coasts of Kent and Essex. This led to the establishment of the Observer Corps in 1925. In September 1942 the government recognized the usefulness and effectiveness of the systems developed by volunteer observers and first published Aircraft Recognition The Inter-services Recognition Journal. With official recognition by HQ Royal Observer Corps and the Air Ministry that accurate recognition of aircraft was achievable the systems developed by the volunteers were adopted as official training. In the US during World War II civilians were enlisted into a Ground Observer Corps to support air defense operations receiving training in aircraft identification. The US military continues to use "WEFT" as a mnemonic for the major features of an aircraft: Wings or rotors to provide lift Engines to provide power a Fuselage to carry the payload and pilot and a Tail assembly which controls the direction of flight. These elements differ in shape size number and position. The differences distinguish one aircraft type from another. The individual components can be taught as separate recognition and identification features but it is the composite of these features that must be learned to recognize and identify an aircraft.

A booby trap is a device or setup that is intended to kill harm or surprise a person or animal unknowingly triggered by the presence or actions of the victim. As the word trap implies they sometimes have some form of bait designed to lure the victim towards it. At other times the trap is set to act upon trespassers that violate personal or restricted areas. The device can be triggered when the victim performs some type of everyday action e.g. opening a door picking something up or switching something on. They can also be triggered by vehicles driving along a road as in the case of victim-operated improvised explosive devices IEDs. Booby traps should not be confused with mantraps which are designed to catch a person. Lethal booby traps are often used in warfare particularly guerrilla warfare and traps designed to cause injury or pain are also sometimes used by criminals wanting to protect drugs or other illicit property and by some owners of legal property who wish to protect it from theft.
