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

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.
