OK my turn.

Explain where the quote "Don't jump Johnnie!"  comes from.  

If you get that one, you should also be able to get:

"Gee, Ain't the Alps pretty"

Just a little hint.  You'd have to be a P51 Mustang fan to know this one.

8th AF,  Pilots involved were flying B model Mustangs.

The two involved in the first quote/incident were aces as was the guy who made the second quote.

First incident was post D-Day, second was Pre-D-Day.

Should narrow the field a bit :)

Tis a sad day indeed:)  edited to add an image of the two pilots involved in the first quote, August 12, 1944

since we're doing trivia, where did the fraize"The whole nine yards "come from? This should be an easy one.

Guy on the left in the photo above was paired with a former Eagle squadron pilot to form one of the best wingmen duos in the Spring of 1944.

Supposadly the length of a belt of  machine gun ammo for a fighter was 9 yards.

Not sure if it's true but that's where the saying comes from as I understand it.
