I was especially amused by the line "But after a string of military antics and a convoluted scheme involving chicken feathers and an inflatable woman, the British were eventually defeated..."
It reminded me of something that I randomly found in the stacks at the University of Toronto library many years ago in a very long series of pamphlets sponsored by various US government agencies in the 1960s. There were so many of these that it seems that the library staff had great difficulty keeping them catalogued.
One in particular was memorable. "The Toxic Effects of Burning Chicken Feathers." It was produced by the U.S. Army! The only disappointment was that the motivation for the study was not what would seem to be the obvious one. It had to do with the manufacture of mattresses for soldiers, and the possible hazards in the event of a barracks fire.

What would be the obvious one?
People setting chickens afire?

Using burning chickens as a weapon...
The army had a real problem with soldiers in 'Nam getting hooked on smoking chicken feathers...it was very tragic.
