As many have already said, it's an awesome song based around the reality of air to air combat during WW2, where the RAF had a very short window between detecting an incoming attack and getting off the ground in order to defend against it. The references to WW2 era planes (Spitfire, ME-109 etc) are all very clear, but it's worth noting that there was also a movie of the same name, which centred on the exact same scenario during WW1. Joining the RFC (Royal Flying Corps) was seen by some as an easy option compared to the horrors of trench warfare, but the reality was that those pilots had a life expectancy which was measured in minutes. It would be nice to think that was a thing of the past, hopefully when Putin finally rots in his shallow grave we'll find some cooler heads to take over.

Great song, I like the guitar solo. Idk why but I think of that part in 'Heavy Metal' animated movie were those zombies arise in that B-17 bomber🧟♂️ Watch "Heavy Metal" movie nd do reaction/review. 🤘💀✌
