you are are on the right line of thinking but these boys had 2 wings

The Mosquito is my favorite air craft

Ah, I was thinking in the same direction, and Mosquito was one of my favourites long ago (saw one in the museum at RAF Cosford last summer). However, I couldn't fit the rest of the clues.

Here is a quicky:

Would I be out of line to assume we aren't speaking of bi vs. mono wing aircraft ?

You be spot on 1oldman2. now think on the last piece of the clue.

 

[wolram]

One more hint: George was happy to give this award.

Now this is a good example of a "search engine resistant" riddle, I'm still chipping away at possible answers but can't seem to tie together certain clues. (great ambiguity, but still solvable) I just need to find the proper format to solve the last part about the "soldiers".

 

[wolram]

I am Glad that you are progressing 1oldman2 but the search engine is of use towards the end

Okay, I'm back to fishing for clues again. I seem to be having trouble thinking outside a certain "box", are we speaking of George as in King George of England?

Yes, we are and if you have king george you are on the way to solving the riddle

OK, I think I have it, involving biplanes and a country, but I think the "three" seems to be part of a myth.

The three are defiantly not a myth they defended a country just of the toe of Italy.

According to a Wikipedia entry (and in contrast with the YouTube video), there were never less than four gladiators involved, and often more, and their names were retrospective too.

 

[wolram]

Okay there may be some controversy here but there were only three named, there was a fourth i stress was

well done Johnathon..

 

[Jonathan Scott]

They were originally C, D, F and H, and as far as I know only F has survived (at least partly). The names later allocated to C, F and H go nicely together, but the name allocated to D wasn't quite so positive!

 

[wolram]

It is your go to baffle US Johnathon.

 

[Jonathan Scott]

I was hoping someone else would fill in the details, as I've taken some time off work to study physics and I didn't mean to get distracted by this.

Okay Johnathon , good luck with your studies.

 

[1oldman2]

Oh man! I don't have it yet but Malta got an award from King George. coincidence?

 

[ProfuselyQuarky]

Who's turn to go? Apologies for my silence.

 

[wolram]

No coincidence 1oldman2 , there seems to be some controversy over whether there was 3 or 4 , the 3 are certainly the most famous, but i am GLAD you are getting there.

 

[wolram]

Who's turn to go? Apologies for my silence.

Johnathon has said he is busy studying so it is open, the first to put up a clue can go.

 

[wolram]

Have you solved the riddle 1oldman2?

 

[1oldman2]

Have you solved the riddle 1oldman2?

Still puzzling over the "three soldiers" metaphor, I'm not about to give up though. Incidentally I'm learning a lot of interesting history on Malta.

 

[ProfuselyQuarky]

Darn it, 1oldman2, I didn’t even know a country called Malta existed.

Do you know where Doctor foster went?

Thats the beauty of these games, we all get to learn new things while entertaining ourselves at the same time. You mentioned WW2 being interesting, I had no Idea of the part Malta played in the Mediterranean theater. Take a look when you have time, That little Island was a real "football".

 

[1oldman2]

Do you know where Doctor foster went?

I do not, however that's an interesting piece of the puzzle to add in. I'm still hung up on the "aircraft" aspect also, patience while I rummage the worlds search engines. Was Doctor Foster British? Speaking of doctors I will be taking my wife into an appointment shortly when I return I'll be on it again. (With the exception of watching the Falcon launch).

 

[1oldman2]

Using Search engines is very confusing on this subject I had no idea how many local Dr's. were named Foster. The fact that Montana has a town named Malta has come up repeatedly also.

Doctor Foster is a rhyme, very British, i hope your wife is okay.

It sounds like that, but the spelling is different!
