NO BULLETS FLY BY SABATON

NO BULLETS FLY BY SABATON is a story in a song. Following a successful air raid on the German city of Bremen, Charlie Brown’s American B-17 bomber, ‘Ye Old Pub’, suffered severe damage. When German fighter ace, Franz Stigler, was ordered to shoot it down, he risked his life to escort the bomber to safety instead of attacking. This is a music video commemorating the Charlie Brown and Franz Stigler incident. It tells us about the honor of the flying aces who ruled the skies during WW2. Following are the lyrics of the famed song:

From down below one enemy’s spotted So hurry up, rearm and refuel But through the bomber’s damaged air frame See wounded men scattered and burned

Look to the right and then look again And see the enemy in the eye No bullets fly, spared by his mercy Escorted out, out of harm’s way

Fly, fighting fair It’s the code of the air Brothers, heroes, foes

Killing machine, thunder in the sky B-17, flying home Killing machine Said goodbye to the cross he deserved

He risked his life two times that day To save an unknown enemy Escort to safety, out of the killzone A short salute, then departed

Fly, fighting fair It’s the code of the air Brothers, heroes, foes

Killing machine, thunder in the sky B-17, flying home Killing machine Said goodbye to the cross he deserved

Fly, fighting fair It’s the code of the air Brothers, heroes, foes

Killing machine, thunder in the sky B-17, flying home Killing machine Said goodbye to the cross he deserved
