jofield	Lyr Req: Into the Air, Junior Birdmen (29)	RE: Junior birdman	29 Mar 00
"Up in the air, junior birdmen, Up in the air, pilots true, -------------------- -- when you have won your wings of tin. So, up in the air junior birdmen, Just send your boxtops in!" (The only fragments I can remember.) My uncle, ex-Army man, used to sing this. I always took it to be a satirization of those notorious egotists, the Army Air Corps (later the Air Force). He also used to sing "Off we go, into the wild blue yonder..", ending with "Nothing can stop the Army Air Corps! (Except the Luftwaffe)." This was WWII era inter-service humor. James.
