Flying Officer Campbell

Famous quotes containing the words flying, officer and/or campbell:

    You’ve always reminded me of a seagull, Jo. Strong and wild and fond of the wind and storms. And dreaming of flying far off to sea. And Mother always said that I was like a little cricket. Chirping contentedly on the hearth, never able to bear the thought of leaving home.
    Victor Heerman (1893–1977)

    Any officer fit for duty who at this crisis would abandon his post to electioneer for a seat in Congress ought to be scalped.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    ‘Tis distance lends enchantment to the view,
    And robes the mountain in its azure hue.
    —Thomas Campbell (1777–1844)
