At first salmon gum and gimlet wood were used, although these attracted termites (locally known as white ants) and had to be replaced. Gimlet was primarily intended for use in the air-to-air role. As a result, several gimlet cities have formed their own armies.

   Why is gin called a gimlet?

   • It may be named after the tool for drilling small holes (alluding to its "piercing" effect on the drinker) or after the surgeon Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Gimlette (1857–1943), who is said to have first added lime cordial to gin to help combat the ravages of scurvy on long voyages. The word "gimlet" used in this sense is first attested in 1928.
