Thread Name: Who wrote the 'F 1-11' song?
Subject: RE: Who wrote the 'F 1-11' song?

The Germans in WW2 had a medium bomber, the Heinkel He111.
Canadian Air Force men had a song called "I Was Chasing One-Elevens" (up at Angels 23- term for 23000 feet). In Hopkins, "Songs From the Front and Rear" (Canadian).
The song probably was from the RAF, but it is not in "The Airman's Song Book," C. H. Ward-Jackson and Leighton Lewis, Blackwood & Sons.
