This one is complete bollocks.

4. Everyone thinks that the iconic logo is of a spinning airplane propeller. They're wrong. Contrary to popular belief, the logo never graced a propeller until the marketing team put it there in 1929 to promote the company's airplane heritage.
They've conflated the logo being on a propeller with it representing a spinning propeller. And on this one they're absolutely wrong.

How many of the others are bullshit, too?
