Famous quotes containing the words atlantic and/or squadron:
“Obscurest night involvd the sky,
Th Atlantic billows roard,
When such a destind wretch as I,
Washd headlong from on board,
Of friends, of hope, of all bereft,
His floating home for ever left.”

“Well gentlemen, this is it. This is what weve been waiting for. Tonight your target is Tokyo. And youre gonna play em the Star Spangled Banner with two-ton bombs. All youve got to do is to remember what youve learned and follow your squadron leaders. Theyll get you in, and theyll get you out. Any questions? All right thats all. Good luck to you. Give em hell.”
—Dudley Nichols (18951960)
