Oh, Hello! I didn't notice your message until today. Don't want to appear unfriendly, very sorry I haven't replied earlier. I am getting on well in general with Wiki and it is a fine project to take part in. All the best (and now I'll try out the tildes ~) L'Etranger (talk) 19:27, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Begin the Beguine

[edit]
I rememember my mother (who was much in touch with RAF and RCAF officers) telling us that at some time during WW2 pilots would hum or whistle "Begin the Beguine" when they left their attack formations to engage in dogfights over Europe. HAs anybody heard likewise? Or is this just part of eternal RAF myth-building :-)

I think there's definitely something to this, and on the article talk page I've recommended creating a new section for WWII. The Library of Congress hosts an article about the influence of the song during and after WWII, particularly in Japan. Viriditas (talk) 09:08, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
