Air power is new to all our countries. It brings advantages to some and weakens others; it calls for readjustment everywhere.

What makes human power erupt like a volcano? What destroy's it? The civilizations of Rome, Greece, Egypt, China were all eruptions from a human core.

Science, freedom, beauty, adventure: what more could you ask of life?

It is not the willingness to kill on the part of our soldiers which most concerns me. That is an inherent part of war. It is our lack of respect for even the admirable characteristics of our enemy; for courage, for suffering, for death, for his willingness to die for his beliefs, for his companies and squadrons which go forth, one after another, to annihilation against our superior training and equipment.

Air power is new to all our countries. It brings advantages to some and weakens others; it calls for readjustment everywhere.

I don't believe in taking foolish chances, but nothing can be accomplished if we don't take any chances at all.

I hope you either take up parachute jumping or stay out of single motored airplanes at night.
