OFF: Dogfight! The 1st Air War

 

Crossbones

FIRE IN THE SKY! FIRE IN THE SKY!! Still the best from Olham and Shiloh!

[33LIMA]

For the symmetry freaks out there:

 

Over Flanders Fields: Flying Fighters Overhead

 

OFF:FFO

 

[33LIMA]

Maybe we should approach this from a different direction...how about:

 

Fearsome Enemies, Cruel Killers: Over Flanders Fields

 

...on second thoughts, scrub that one; it was Father Jack's idea, anyway.

[themightysrc]

Many good ideas, but I have it at the back of my mind that there's a better, more potent and more poetic/balletic name to be summoned. Let me think upon this one...

[Olham]

Over Flanders Fields: "When War got Wings"

[nbryant]

OFF: Wings of Patriots

 

or

 

OFF: Winged Patriots

[Olham]

Although the Germans got parachutes sometime in 1918, the majority

of WW1 flyers didn't have them (and the German ones didn't always

open).

I guess it's not a ripoff but rather a compliment for Arthur Gould Lee,

if the title of his book would be used. And it's short and it hits.

Over Flanders Fields: "No Parachute!"

I quite like Clouds of Glory Sid

Oh dear, UKW,

 

I will have to make a double confession: I nicked it, and (the horror) it was from a poem - by Wordsworth:

 

" Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting;

The Soul that rises with us, our life's star,

Hath had elsewhere its setting,

And cometh from afar:

Not in entire forgetfulness,

And not in utter nakedness,

But trailing clouds of glory do we come..."

 

You're lucky, I could of quoted the whole thing - it goes on and bloody on.

 

Worth a read but.

 

And - damnation, France just beat Wales !!!

Or for a more classical, philosophical name

 

OFF: Sons of Icarus

 

I can picture the cover as a close up view of a rear gunner and an enemy scout burning as plummets earthward just a bit off in the distance.

[Pips]

OFF: Fragile Wings, Cruel Sky

[Olham]

Icarus is not bad, Hellshade - how about:

 

Over Flanders Fields "Icarus took the Sword"

[Hellshade]

That works too. I used "Sons of Icarus" because so many of them also fell from the sky - their wings "melted" - just like their "father" did before them. It sort of ties in the entire "greek tradgey" thing to the entire air war. Our genius got us into the skies, and our arrogance still makes us fall. The "Sons of" part talks about the WWI pilots being the first generation to take flight after Icarus himself did.
