My visiting Paris disconcerted fliers (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
air corps
'my visiting paris disconcerted fliers' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'my visiting paris disconcerted' is the wordplay.
'my' becomes 'cor' (both are expressions of surprise).
'visiting' indicates putting letters inside.
'disconcerted' indicates anagramming the letters.
'paris' anagrammed gives 'airps'.
'cor' placed within 'airps' is 'AIR CORPS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for air corps that I've seen before include "Irish flying force" , "Ireland's flying force" , "Army's flyers" .)
