Mr. Cook's reply seems to make sense if we are talking shape, tho I fail to see
any resemblance to "Blender monkeys" found so far other than the color
chrome-blue.

The model was made probably around the time Blender was a gleam in someone's
eye. I snagged it and rebuilt it to correct many things, but first scripted the
tools to do it; mesh builder/viewer.

The Warbird file had a phone number in it. I called the guy. Nothing to say
really. I probably spent way more time fixing it than he spent to knock it out.
The shapes were good, it had to be fixed. And I like the few points and memory
it takes.

So there is the little Warbird's story, not counting the battles.
