Clear! Explanation: от винта is "clear." (In other words, stand back from the prop.) This phrase was commonly used. In fact there is a recent book with this title. I don't recognize бомбанем as a Russian word. Perhaps, "on the bombing run," or "let's bomb" or "we are bombing," but not in a way I have ever seen. дотянем, in context with the other phrases, probably is "We are hanging on." I have never seen it in an air context, though. на взлет is "rolling." In other words, taking off, heading for the takeoff. Иду на таран is "ramming" or "I am ramming." Таран attacks were frequently used against the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War. ������-���������� ������������� ������ Nearly 40 years experience with air terminology. |
