Actually the A-36 guys wanted to call them Invaders.
But the attached article tries to address the Apache question.

Personally, I like the name "Invader" for the A-36. Different designation, different name. Even if that designation was budgetary legerdemain.
F-16 pilots call their ride "Vipers".

Aircraft bondo is very heavy. A neighbor's uncle worked for an airline and brought half of a can to his nephew for the kid's car. Much heavier than auto Bondo, however 200mph is not a requirement.

No, it is very light and is tougher than Bondo. It is a two part compound, and is called Superfil.

I am starting to sweat just looking at that engine change! No shade, probably Guam or Tinian. Probably 85F+ and 85% Humidity. Almost all manual labor to lift the engines. I am dehydrating just looking at that scene!

Must have been a rarity, a F4U being catapulted off a CVE. I don't remember seeing it before.
