Masters of the Air Quotes

When a crew went down, they disappeared. No more than four months at Thorpe Abbotts until 32 of the 35 original crews were among the missing. We did not talk about such crews.

They’d seen too many planes blow up in front of them and too many friends killed. Some people drank. Some people fought. Some people slept around. If you got a chance to forget, you took it.
