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.

A pair of 1941 Ryan PT-22 Recruits pass the San Gabriel Mountains coming in for the Cable Airshow
Back in the very early days of WW-2, my father was a LT in the Army Air Corps helping with the training of aircrews. The Ryan PT Trainer was a major factor in that process.
