There was a song composed by the 'Thud pilots in the Vietnam war. Pretty sarcastic and funny.
You ever hear it?
I gave up a long time ago trying to find the lyrics.

100 missions to be flown Mm Hmm Mm Hmm
100 bridges to be blown Mm Hmm Mm Hmm
I don't remember the rest of the words right off had, found this siteView: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KTe4lHLlcs
100 missons to be flown Mm Hmm Mm Hmm
A hundred targets still unknown Mm Hmm Mm Hmm
But it's my belief that my Thunderchief
Strikes a telling blow to help G.I. Joe
Till a hundred missions I myself have flown
100 missions to be flown Mm Hmm Mm Hmm
A hundred bridges to be blown Mm Hmm Mm Hmm
On my left right, the rest of my flight
Help keep me alive in my 1-0-5
Till a hundred missions I myself have flown
There was a third verse towards the end that I can't make out all the lyrics to:
100 missions to be flown Mm Hmm Mm Hmm
It's good to know you're not alone Mm Hmm Mm Hmm
In the shrapnel**************************
The Jolly Green will pick me up clean
Till a hundred missions I myself have flown
At the end of the documentary, there is another song with a country twang
I'm a Thud pilot, I love my plane
It is my body, I am its brain
She's packed with transistors, black boxes, diodes
But stay alert, 'cause you may get hurt, when she explodes
TAILGUNNER / Iron Maiden
Trace your way back 50 years
To the glow of Dresden - blood and tears
In the black above by the cruel searchlight
Men will die and men will fight - yeah|
Who shot who and who fired first?
Dripping death to whet the bloodthirst
No radar lock on - skin and bone
The bomber boys are going home
chorus
Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner
You're a Tailgunner
(repeat)
Nail that Fokker, kill that son.
I'm Gonna blow your guts out with my gun
The weather forecast's good for war
Cologne and Frankfurt? Have some more|
Tail end Charlie in the boiling sky
The Enola Gay was my last try
Now that this Tailgunner's gone
No more bombers (just one big bomb)
chorus
