I once knew someone close to Ali and he told me Ali was a Muslim before he beat Sonny Liston for the heavyweight championship but didn't declare it to the world until after the fight and announced at that time that he would be known as Muhammed Ali for the rest of time. Guy was one heck of a great fighter and still is one of the most beloved athletes in history.

How have fighter planes changed since World War 1?

Plenty of things changed about fighter planes between WW1 and WW2 : - metal became more and more used instead of wood and cloth for the fuselage and the wings - fighters got retractable landing gears under the wings - they got a closed canopy - machineguns now incorporated in the wings - basic aiming systems then after WW2 came the era of the fighter jet with V wings and a jet engine incorporated in the fuselage.
