And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I got a chance to fly on the B-17 Liberty Belle and I was in the seat behind the pilot. It was exciting to hear, feel and smell those four big Studebaker built radials come to life.
Sharp-eyed viewers may recognize the actor Arthur Kennedy as the narrator/copilot.
