Allusions

Character's Names:
The names "Mustang", "Hawkeye", "Breda", "Havoc", "Hayate", and "Fuery" all are taken from types of war machines used during World War II. The name "Falman" is thought to be derived from "Farman," which is another war machine from the same period.

(edit)
Roy Mustang: "If your enemy has a choleric temper, seek to anger him."
This line and a later one ("All warfare is based on deception") are taken from Sun Tzu's famous text, The Art of War. (edit)
