Could also pull out equivalent names once translated. e.g. Merkur (model) or Mercury (brand) for... (an a/c I've never flown). There's also at least another Ford product with the same model name as a U.S. miliatry a/c.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but Oldsmobile manufactured a car called the Aurora. And the Royal Canadian Air Force currently operates the Lockheed CP-140 Aurora which is based on the P-3 Orion which, of course, is based in turn on the L-188 Electra.
