Sort of like how nobody really knows "Video Killed the Radio Star" for anything other than "first video aired on MTV".
Seriously? You've never heard of the Buggles, or actually listened to/watched the song?
As for Wings, what's fascinating about it is its chronicling of the very early days of planes being used in warfare, and the huge risks taken by pilots every day - in the very beginning, for reconnaissance rather than combat. It's much more than a mere statistic.
