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.
had a eye doctor when I was a kid that had pictures of him in WW2 in his office. he told me that it was God damn cold up in those planes. showed me his scar from taking his gloves off one time to do something and losing a bit of skin due to it sticking to the metal. really nice guy to a kid though. he told me everyone gets scared at times, but it what you do with it that matters. I think he served on B-17s during the war and talked about going to school after the war.
30's?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty damn sure, that's not a B-24. Maybe one Brit?

And my childhood dentist flew a Spad in the war.
