I don't know how it started put it seems there has always been that element among aviators regardless of being freind or foe. I might have to check up on the history on that. It will be great flying with you see you in the sky.

agree with u my friend,personnaly my exemple is GOERGES GUYNEMER ,a real french ace of ww1(54 victories+30 probably),one day he saw that a german pilot had his machine guns suddenly out of order in a duel with him,instead of assasined the german pilot,he decided to moves his spad wings,say bye with his hand and return in the french lines...this guy was more that a fighter pilot,he was a real knight of the air.
he died in 11th september 1917 in poelkapelle (belgium)in a unknow conditions.
