Famous quotes containing the words squadron and/or bases:

    “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)

    “In the beginning was the word, the word
    That from the solid bases of the light
    Abstracted all the letters of the void....”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
