For it is either by great daring or hard work that one becomes famous.

And I will choose daring every single time.

A lighter-than-air craft capable of extended flight over the treacherous Hindu Kush American ingenuity, an inspiration for our troops

Fighting the good fight on the battlefields of Europe. That is why we do these

Staring into the gaping jaws of death and salute

Fine ladies, pray for my safe return

I will think of you always
