Late reply: Yes, I think there is an allusion to Oswald Boelcke also considering that knightliness (sic) was very important to WW I pilots.

But IMHO the more obvious allusion is to the Yugoslav Wars of the Balkan region in southeastern Europe which led to the breakup of former Yugoslavia and resulting in multiple nations.
