The origin of Gremlins, mischievous, goblin-like creatures who took great delight in sabotaging planes, dates back to the first half of the 20th century. They were well known to RAF pilots, particularly during WW2 where any inexplicable mechanical failure in planes was attributed to them. At first they were believed to be enemy sympathisers but it was later revealed that the enemy too experienced strange faults and problems with their planes. Since then, a number of films and other media have spread awareness of gremlins, who still regularly get the blame for any and all mechanical and now even electrical problems we may experience!
