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.
An aquaintance of my Dad (both served in the RNZAF in WW2) flew Venturas. They had troublesome fuel systems and engines would stop for no apparent reason. Harry had to ditch one (they sank like a stone) and, according to the old man, he was the only RNZAF pilot that ditched one and got the whole crew out alive.
