Albatross!

The Laysan Albatross is also known as the 'Gooney Bird' for it's clumsiness in landing and taking off. Our troops named it that during WWII in the Pacific Theater.

"Gooney Bird' was also the nickname for the Douglas DC-3 (C-47 Army, R4D Navy) transport plane in WWII.
 
Okay, that takes care of the albatross. Now, what about the guy around who's neck it was hung? We need the complete story here.
