My favorite part from Young Indiana Jones Chapter 12 "Attack of the Hawkmen" where Indy joins the fight against the German Luftwaffe and faces none other than Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron himself. "The (young / poor / bold) Aviator" is an air force pilot song from WW1 that is sung to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean" and to whose lyrics there are many variants.

The lyrics used here are:

A young aviator lay dying
And as 'neath the wreckage he lay
To the mechanics around him
These parting words he did say:

Two valve springs you'll find in my stomach
Three spark plugs are safe in my lung
The prop is in splinters inside me
To my fingers the joy-stick has clung

Take the cylinders out of my kidneys
The connecting rod out of my brain
From the small of my back take the crankshaft
And assemble the engine again
