"Victory" by Len Krenzler
Painting of the Berlin Express's Eiffel Tower victory.
The “Berlin Express” P-51B Mustang achieved legendary status in an epic World War II dogfight in Paris in 1944, piloted by American Bill Overstreet, who flew the aircraft under the Eiffel Tower in hot pursuit of a German fighter. Overstreet eventually downed the German plane and eluded heavy enemy fire while escaping the battle with his aircraft intact.

6am post about my username bc I've never talked about it before and I'm bored.
There's a 1991 film called Dogfight and it centers around a marine who's spending his last night stateside with his friends. He's meant to ship out the next morning for Vietnam.

"The rules of the Dogfight were simple. Everyone puts in fifty bucks, and the guy with the ugliest "date" wins."
Eddie (the marine) brings Rose (daughter of a cafe owner) to the dogfight with the rest of his friends and their "dates". She ends up finding out about the game and it's rules and storms off. Eddie wins some money because Rose threw up in the bathroom.
Eddie spends the rest of the night trying to make it up to her, even going so far as to ditch his friends, and the two end up falling in love. Rose asks Eddie to write her, but he never does because he doesn't want his friends to find out. When the occupation ends, Eddie doesn't return home to his parents, no. He goes straight back to Rose, who is now the owner of her mothers cafe.
The word "Dogfight" refers to a close range aircraft fight. The modern term is much less fascinating and is just referred to as "maneuvering".
There was also a musical that ran shortly, based off of the film.

Dogfight is entering the Criterion Collection on April 30!
Director Nancy Savoca recalls the night she was prepared to remove her name from the film — and then River Phoenix called. 
[River] was in Florida at the time I was up in the Bronx, and we talked for several hours on the phone, and it was just this great conversation,” said Savoca. “He really was talking about trying to explore different characters and push against the roles he’d been playing. He was very interested in playing someone who he couldn’t understand.” [...] “That got me very excited because that meant that the discoveries he was going to make, I was going to be able to catch on film, so it was a very good, juicy conversation,” said Bronx native Savoca, who remembered how Phoenix ended the call. “He said, ‘By the way, your voice sounds just like my mom She’s from the Bronx too.’ I was like, ‘OK, I’m really in. I’m like his mom.’”
[...] In essence, the film Savoca had made was not for the young market at the test screenings, and that Warners intended to reach. The studio believed the problem could be solved by making the ending less ambiguous, supplying a clearer resolution for the conflicted characters. [...] The director recalled the painful last few days aimlessly tinkering away on the film with editor John Tintori, knowing the studio was in the process of revamping her movie, but being out of the loop of those plans.
And next thing I know, River calls me, and he goes, ‘Are you going to be there?’” said Savoca, who remembers the fateful call like it was yesterday. “And I said, ‘Where?’ And he goes, ‘Well, we’re doing a shoot next week.’ And I said, ‘No, I didn’t know about it.’ And he goes, ‘Oh, OK, I’m not going.’”
The now-20-year-old star refused to participate in the reshoots when he learned Savoca hadn’t written the new pages and that she wouldn’t be there to direct. Savoca remains in awe of how gutsy the young actor was in standing up to the studio.
“He totally supported me,” said Savoca. “I am incredibly indebted to him. If he would’ve gone, I would not have that film, I wouldn’t have made that film.”

my favouriteeeeee thing in musical theatre songs is whenever the repetition of a phrase like.. changes its meaning. You can hear it easier listening to you gotta die sometime but the way his voice gets more distressed and enunciates as “some time” repeating it as a desperate plea
