And for the more literary-minded ones, there's an excellent short story about Blue Max by William Gibson ("Dogfight", it's in the "Burning Chrome" anthology).
And it's not about the medal. It's about the "Blue Max" game. More or less.
To make a short story long, sometime in the future they play Blue Max using high-tech holographic projectors, and nerve-controlling the planes. A lowdown fugitive gets hooked on the game, and at the same time meets a girl genius who has been rigged by her parents to have allergic reactions to being touched...
Well, I won't spoil the rest, since it's so intense a recap won't do... just go and read it.
In any case, if you strip down the high-tech bits, you can still see Willie Gibson moving small planes on hex mats |
