The Navy Can Lose Us The War, But Only The Air Force Can Win It. Therefore Our Supreme Effort Must Be To Gain Overwhelming Mastery In The Air. The Fighters Are Our Salvation . . .

Without Tradition, Art Is A Flock Of Sheep Without A Shepherd. Without Innovation, It Is A Corpse.

To Each There Comes In Their Lifetime A Special Moment When They Are Figuratively Tapped On The Shoulder And Offered The Chance To Do A Very Special Thing, Unique To Them And Fitted To Their Talents. What A Tragedy If That Moment Finds Them Unprepared Or Unqualified For That Which Could Have Been Their Finest Hour.
