| - In 1938, Indiana Jones and his father, Henry Jones, Sr., were aboard D-138, a zeppelin bound from Berlin to Athens, when the airship began turning around after Jones had disabled its radio. Unwilling to return to Germany, the two searched the airship and discovered that it carried a biplane, and climbed aboard. After they had detached from the zeppelin and began flying to freedom, the younger Jones realized that they were being pursued by two Nazi fighter planes. Giving his father a quick lesson in aerial combat lingo, Indiana concentrated on flying while his father began using the biplane's machine guns. As one of the faster fighters swung around the tail of the plane, Henry continued to track its motion and ended up shooting tail fin of their plane. Unwilling to admit his mistake, he apologized to his son that they'd been shot by the enemy. With the rear stabilizer damaged, the plane could not stay aloft, and Indiana Jones looked for a place to ditch the plane. Nearing the ground, Jones managed to land on a hillside, crashing the plane into a farmhouse. The two escapees climbed out of the ruined plane and searched for a vehicle - eventually stealing a Citroën automobile.
