30/30.

There were a couple where I had to make an educated guess. Something about balloons and one other one...

30/30. Not a hard quiz. A lot of the questions were pretty leading.

Thirty. Some guesses as to some of the numbers, such as capacity or production lots.

Some of the items weren't worded very well. For example, take: "The planes widely known as 'Zeroes'... "The official codename for the Zero was Zeke.". "Zero" was basically its official name, "Type 0 Carrier Fighter" The "Zero" referred to the last digit of the year it was introduced.

"Zeke" was the Allied code name; one would assume the "Official" code name would be the one the makers or operators gave it.

I smiled at one of the distractor answers: a heavily modified Dodge Hemi engine.

29. Blew it on the F-15 or F-22 question, which did feel awkwardly worded.

The answers were obvious, even to the casual observer.
