Some Judy! That is or used to be cockney slang for a girl. I wonder if it's of American origin?

(Sorry about omission!)

1. Could be a stretch,

but a quick Wikipedia search brought up a plausible assumption:

"Judy (born Shanghai, 1936, died Tanzania, 1950) was a ship's dog on a Royal Navy vessel before and during World War II... Judy was an English pointer, and was known for pointing out the approach of hostile Japanese aircraft long before any of the human crew could hear them." {Emphasis added}

"The Yokosuka D4Y Suisei was a dive bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Its Allied codename was "Judy"." {Emphasis added}

2. Well, the article does state that she was very widely-known by the troops

out there. So, it seems quite possible.
