Favorite movie quote
What's you favorite quote from one of the movie made on WW1 aerial warfare.
Mines is from the movie, The Red Baron. I believe it's the part of the movie where MVR shoots down  Roy Brown. Manfred helps him out of his wrecked plane, the nurse comes to help him.Here's the line Nurse: ''You saves this mans life'' MVR: ''No, I shot him down''

My favourite quote isn't from a movie, so I guess I'm hijacking this thread.
R A Little, outstanding Australian Ace, shot down a German pilot and his observer, and attempted to land nearby. Upon landing, he hit a hole in the field and overturned, leaving his aircraft in a less than flyable condition. The German pilot (Niemuller IIRC) quipped "It looks like I shot you down, rather than the other way around".

My favourite is probably from Aces High, where the soon to be LMF'd Lt Crawford speaks to Croft in the mess, with regard to his enthusiastic attitude upon arrival at the squadron as a replacement:
'Two weeks. Fourteen days. That's how long you're lasting, so I wouldn't be quite so 'Oh yes, very much' if I were you. Just a piece of friendly advice, take it or leave it.' Al

Well, I'm embarassed to admit this, but there are some scenes in The Blue Max I can quote verbatim (and they don't involve a towel!).
