And there was a song about Colin Kelly, the deceased air hero at the beginning of the war. The tale was that he had singlehandedly (singleplanedly?) sunk a Japanese battleship by what we would later call Kamikazi tactics. Much later the naysayers said that he was not a hero but a damfool, that he hadn't sunk anything but killed himself foolishly. I don't remember the details.
