British Pacific Fleet particularly the capital ships (A comparison of HMS "King George V" and USS "Washington" conducted in 1942 found the British ship burned 39% more fuel at cruising speed and 20% at high speed, giving her half the action radius.) British ships therefore required replenishment more frequently than American ships. In some cases even American-built equipment was not interchangeable, for FAA aircraft had been "Anglicized" by the installation of British radios and oxygen masks, while Vought Corsairs had their wing-folding arrangements modified to fit into the more cramped hangars of British carriers. Replacement aircraft therefore had to be brought from the
Burned house horizon (McPherron and Christopher 1988; Chapman 2000; and Stevanovic 1997). Although the phenomenon of house burning is pervasive throughout the Cucuteni-Trypillian culture's existence, it was by no means the only southeastern European Neolithic society that experienced this. The British-American archaeologist Ruth Tringham has coined the term "Burned House Horizon" to describe the extent of the geographical region that indicates this repetitive practice of house burning in southeast Europe. She, along with Serbian archaeologist Mirjana Stevanović, mapped out this phenomenon from archaeological sites throughout the entire region, and came to the conclusion that: Although I have referred to the ubiquity of burned
