Iron Maiden - Aces High Lyrics Meaning

Yea, this song is about The Battle of Britain in WWII. You all described it well. The scramble, the combat, the adrenaline rush.

Just somthing that somone posted about Bruise Dickenson that pissed me off. Yes, he is a piolet. However, there is a HUGE difference between sword fighting (what you said) and fencing (what he actually does). The weapon he fences, does not swing the blade around in a crazed fashion like one would with a combat sword. A foil (his weapon) is only allowed to perform a lunging (or poking you could call it) action on the opponent's torso (no arms legs or head).
