Wesley C. Baker, in his book More Than a Man Can Take, tells the story in the comedy Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines where the movie spoofs the pre-World War I German army. In this particular scene the Prussian colonel is alarmed that the pilot of his primitive airplane is too sick to fly in a major international race. The colonel decides to fly the plane himself. The pilot who is ill asks, "How will you learn?" The colonel responds curtly, "The way any German officer learns anything, from the book of instructions!"
