I'm currently reading the Dirty Little Secrets of World War II: (Military Information No One Told You) when I ran into this interesting factoid in the book.
Remind you of any famous family of natural flying aces from the Macross Universe?
Considering that the book came out in 1994 while Macross 7 came out in 1994 also, I think its just coincidence on the part of the writers. Still I do find it amusing.
