At random: Fleet Admiral Halsey in a book called "The Admirals" when asked "What is the ultimate strategic weapon that is bringing the enemy to its knees? Halsey's reply "If I had to give credit to the instruments and machines that won us the war in the Pacific, I would rank them in this order: SUBMARINES, FIRST; RADAR, SECOND; PLANES, THIRD AND BULLDOZERS FOURTH."

Those old warbirds and their crews served us in a world at war. They remain beautiful birds of prey. Somehow when I see one I feel a deep sense of history that bridges the years between me and the airman who flew them. I am a pilot and the lure of those beauties never will leave me until the day I die. I wouldn't try to glamorize war but what they represent today is the courage that sent young men aloft to fight for freedom when the world was engulfed in flames.
