A Version: (emphasis on mine)

http://www.toucansolutions.com/oldfield ... quote]What Do You Do When Your Falling,
You've Got 30 Degrees And You're Stalling Out?
And It's 24 Miles To Your Beacon;
There's A Crack In The Sky And The Warning's Out.

Don't Take That Dive Again!
Push Through That Band Of Rain!

Five Miles Out,
Just Hold Your Heading True.
Got To Get Your Finest Out.
You're Number 1, Anticipating You.

Climbing Out.
Just Hold Your Heading True.
Got To Get Your Finest Out.
You're Number 1, Anticipating You.

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!
Calling All Stations!
This Is Golf-Mike-Oscar-Victor-Juliet
Imc Cu.nimb...Icing,
In Great Difficulty, Over.

The Traffic Controller Is Calling,
"Victor-Juliet Your Identity.
I Have You Lost In The Violent Storm!
Communicate Or Squawk 'Emergency'!"

Don't Take That Dive Again!
Push Through That Band Of Rain!

Lost In Static 18,
And The Storm Is Closing In Now.
Automatic 18!
(Got To Push Through!) Trapped In Living Hell!

Your A Prisoner Of The Dark Sky,
The Propeller Blades Are Still!
And The Evil Eye Of The Hurricane's
Coming In Now For The Kill.

Our Hope's With You,
Rider In The Blue.

Welcome's Waiting, We're Anticipating
You'll Be Celebrating, When You're Down And Braking.

Climbing Out.
(Climbing, Climbing)
Five Miles Out.
(Climbing, Climbing)

Five Miles Out,
Just Hold Your Heading True.
Got To Get Your Finest Out...
(Climbing, Climbing)

Correct Milorg. It was Amelia Earhart, the first woman to make a solo flight over the Atlantic. Over to you.

A certain Frenc ace dissapeared the same year as a felow French ace could not take off in a "race", both attempting the same.
What was the "race" and name the French aces

Good luck
Cheers Milorg

tells me:

His chance for fame came in 1925 when he was assigned to duty with Lieutenant Commander Richard E. Byrd's naval aviation group attached to D. B. MacMillan's expedition to Greenland in that year. Both his character and ability caught the attention of his commander, and he soon became Byrd's close friend and personal pilot.

Together they planned a flight over the North Pole, and on a second expedition in the next year they carried out the plan, flying a 3-engine Fokker monoplane, the Josephine Ford, from Spitsbergen to the Pole and back on May 9.

They never flew over the pole.

Just a gues.

Q: A machine gun, used during WWI by several combatants, used by a lot of Baltic/Scandinavian countreys.
The weapon was put to good use by a South American state and was air cooled.
Name the gun, country of origin and the conflict the South American state was involved.

Hi Auf

Correct of course.
The National emblem at the wing gave it away?
I once stumbled at the http://www.hpo.hu/English/feltalalok/jendrass.html page when trying to find out answers to the questions of the "Turbo-Prop"- Huck

at the Post-WWII section.
So my friend...it's your time next
