Survivors
No Ecuadorian aircraft survived as part the lend lease agreement with the U.S. which exchanged the Ecuadorian P-35s for P-47s. The P-35s were to be sold as scrap and the Ecuadorian government took the agreement literally. Within a few days of the delivery of the P-47s, ground crews with blow torches cut the P-35s apart and they were sold as scrap.

Famous quotes containing the word survivors:
“I believe that all the survivors are mad. One time or another their madness will explode. You cannot absorb that much madness and not be influenced by it. That is why the children of survivors are so tragic. I see them in school. They don’t know how to handle their parents. They see that their parents are traumatized: they scream and don’t react normally.”
—Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)
“I want to celebrate these elms which have been spared by the plague, these survivors of a once flourishing tribe commemorated by all the Elm Streets in America. But to celebrate them is to be silent about the people who sit and sleep underneath them, the homeless poor who are hauled away by the city like trash, except it has no place to dump them. To speak of one thing is to suppress another.”
—Lisel Mueller (b. 1924)
