Here's another nudge.
(This would be a freebie if Glyn were tuning in).

Back at the squadron, the crew of this aircraft might have been listening to these hit songs on the radio:

"Here In My Heart" Al Martino
"You Belong To Me" Jo Stafford
"Comes A-Long A-Love" Kay Starr
"Outside Of Heaven" Eddie Fisher
"Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes" Perry Como
"She Wears Red Feathers" Guy Mitchell
"Broken Wings" Stargazers
