Lufbery

Lufbery is inspired by the pocket watches issued to the British pilots of the First World War. The Mark IV (1914), and the Mark V (1916). They were the first cockpit watches and the forerunners of all military issue pilots watches. Lufbery is named after an airborne defensive manoeuvre from the First World War known as the Lufbery Circle. The Lufbery Circle is an air tactic that involves several aircraft forming a horizontal circle when attacked, in such a way that the machine guns in each aircraft offer a measure of protection to the other aircraft in the circle.
