mockery of the RAF motto - pc, trouble ad
trouble - which, translated. means through
trouble to trouble
Nor is any motto, made in jest, ever likely
to be more bitterly true. In all the dispatches
you ever read from famous front lines.
Alamein. Tunis, Arakan, Anzio Catania.
Guadalcanal, you probably never read that
almost 1000 of your countrymen have flown
away from this English base, and have not
returned.
You probably never read that in the
early days of Americas part in this war
one of the hardest jobs for the Eighth Air
Force was getting requirements for the
aircraft that never came back. You prob
ably never read of the American officer who
stood on this hill and watched ID of his Fort
resses take of for occupied Europe, saying.
This is the proudest hour of my life, the
moment have waited for"
He stood there few hours later, watch
ing solitary plane limping home, and said
with tears in his eyes, I'VE are the greatest
industrial nation in the world - but now
haven't plane to fly
Whether you ever heard these things or
not, this unnamed English hilltop is as much
part of the American front line as anything
at Casino or Cherbourg More than that, it is
home to nearly 1900 American boys. In 1912
it was hard to fill the gaps made in the ring
of giant planes silhouetted above the old
Roman battlefield. But in March. 1914, in
sunny rainless England. the Flying Fortresses
from this base made up for the tears and
trials of 1912.
