Bombardment Squadron Light

Famous quotes containing the words squadron and/or light:

    Well gentlemen, this is it. This is what we’ve been waiting for. Tonight your target is Tokyo. And you’re gonna play ‘em the Star Spangled Banner with two-ton bombs. All you’ve got to do is to remember what you’ve learned and follow your squadron leaders. They’ll get you in, and they’ll get you out. Any questions? All right that’s all. Good luck to you. Give ‘em hell.
    Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)

    The light that was shadowed then
    Was seen to be our lives,
    Everything about us that love might wish to examine,
    Then put away for a certain length of time, until
    The whole is to be reviewed, and we turned
    Toward each other, to each other.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
