I picture the hippodrome like an aerodrome, only with hippopotamuses taking off and landing.

Hippo comes from the Greek word for horse.

Hippopotamus = Hippo (Horse) + Potami (River)

Therefore means Riverhorse

I'm just imagining the horror show of trying to get a hippopotamus on an airplane followed sometime thereafter with the inevitable result of pushing one out of a plane with or without a parachute. It would surely be devestating for the enemy though.
