DukeIronHand Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 I keep thinking "OFF: Hope the damn thing is released before I die of old age." Quote
Creaghorn Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 i wouldn't give a name which mentiones aces, nor knights nor anything of that cliches (i think JFM once also mentioned something like that). most names like that in the past only concentrate of maybe 5% of all people involved and that's not what it should be about and it's IMO kind too hollywoodish and even unfair. the other 95% just get unmentioned. "between heaven and hell" is a superb name IMO because it left out all those cliches. everybody was involved with this name. it should be something which all pilots and observers and mechanics of all sides had in common. no matter if ace or non-ace or just the airmechanic. they were part of a new weapon without earlier experiences. they were learning by doing and were growing with the new task. they were considered crazy to sit into such an aeroplane and carry the war into the air. if they would be supposed to fly, god would have given them wings. what they all had in common was, they were a special bunch of people. over flanders fields: a special bunch Quote

+Olham Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) Short? "OFF - The Blue Max" or "OFF - Pour le Merite" Edited October 3, 2011 by Olham Quote
+Olham Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 "Over Flanders Fields - Pour le Merite" would nicely combine - a British poem with - a French name for - a German medal Quote
