They are not directional signal semaphores. They are the rare "Dual Mode"
wings. No doubt you are familiar with the amphibious "Schwimmen-Wagen."
What your son has is the even rarer "Flieder-Wagen" It was nick-named the
"Penguin" by British troops, and "The best damned idea we've seen in a long
time" by the Bi-Polish Army.
The design never...how best to say..."got off the ground."
