Focal Plane Shutters

Famous quotes containing the words plane and/or shutters:

“We’ve got to figure these things a little bit different than most people. Y’know, there’s something about going out in a plane that beats any other way.... A guy that washes out at the controls of his own ship, well, he goes down doing the thing that he loved the best. It seems to me that that’s a very special way to die.”
—Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)

“The shutters were drawn and the undertaker wiped his feet—
He was aware that this sort of thing had occurred before.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
