Reminds me of an old album my dad had, "The Wild Blue Yonder, Oscar Brand with the Roger Wilco Four".
My brother and I weren't allowed to listen to it because of the language....but when dad was partying with his squadron mates, after we were sent to bed, he'd play it.
Here's a link to a writeup about the album and it's follow-up "Out of the Blue":

Can only be one :)
Written by the son of Jay Robbins, one of the 80th Headhunters leading aces.
"Twin Tailed Lightning"
http://www.80fsheadhunters.org/Thumper/Twin%20Tailed%20Light.asf
In the jungles of New Guinea, the Headhunters carved their name,
They were brave and they were fearless, downing Zeros was their game.
From the beaches of Port Moresby, it was three miles to their drome,
T'was a dirt strip carved in a hillside, this is the place they called their home.
Chorus
Twin Tailed Lightning, was their warplane,
As they roamed Pacific skies,
Searching out the sons of Nippon,
Sending them to their demise.
They were known not as a number, but as a name denoting fear,
A tiny native was their logo, making history for all to hear.
With names like Homer, Norb Ruff and Murphy, Cragg and Robbins and Kirby too,
They swept the sky clean of the Jap menace,
And came back victors when they flew.
Chorus
They flew out from their airdrome in their Lightnings climbing high,
Looking up to find some Zeros, gonna blow them from the sky.
All the odds were against them, all they had were their planes,
And some friends down in the jungle, who made sure they'd fly again.
Chorus
Making aces was their standard, two-hundred kills even more,
With fifty cal and twenty mike-mike, they always ran up their meatball score.
About the odds they never worried, from tree top level they'd cut 'em down,
And when they landed from their melees, they would drink and "mess" around.
Chorus (twice)
