Encyclopedia > Fishtailing

Fishtailing is a problem with rear wheel drive vehicles. The problem occurs on low grip surfaces (wet road, ice, snow, gravel...) or when applying too much power. When you do that the rear end of the car will swing from side to side as the driver attempts to compensate. In drifting controlled fishtailing is considered a good thing. Rear wheel drive was a common form of engine/transmission layout used in automobiles throughout the 20th century. ... Drifting refers to the difference in slip angle between the front and rear tires of a car. ...

M1951 Fishtail Parka: aka M51 Parka M-1951 parka (668 words)
The first fishtail parka was the EX-48-1 model which was a basically a prototype and featured a wolf fur hood and detachable "fibre glass" based lining plus the major distinction was it had a pocket on the arm (much like the MA1 flying jacket sleeve pocket).
However, the 1st generation M1951 fishtail parka with the attached hood was soon dropped around 1953/4 as the hood was simply not warm enough and was replaced by the detachable hood model.
All models of the M1951 fishtail parka both with the attached hood and the wolf fur hood are highly sought after today and are prized by both modernist connoisseurs and militaria collectors alike.
Hairstyling Snippets: Fishtail Braids (1322 words)
I have managed to do some great fishtail ponytails that were pulled to the side of my head, but when I try to do the braid on a ponytail at the back of my head I don't have as much luck.
Although the Fishtail ponytail looks tricky, it consists of a simple two strand braid that is created starting at the top of the base of a ponytail.
Allow plenty of "tail" at the end of the fishtail braid or else there is a danger that the elastic band may work its way out of place and the braid may loosen or fall out.
