Salute Our Airmen!
The air attack continues. We reply .by “clawing them down.” Better still, we retaliate by invading Germany with bombs. While this goes on, a heady dope incessantly drugs the German people. They swallow fantastic “claims.” Not only do they count up phantom losses on our side; they are also invited to absorb thrillers about the devastation inflicted upon us. Does it occur to them to ask why, if we are so hard pressed, they continually receive attacks from our brave and brilliant airmen Very likely they wonder. But they keep doubts to themselves. The Gestapo men watch them. . Again we salute our airmen in pride and gratitude. The youth of the British Commonwealth fights in this great Service released from the dead hand of tradition and convention and old military precedent. Free men, they'defend us from slavery in perfect independence of spirit; using their brains, as well as their bodies. We can find no praise sufficient for them. We can resolve to be worthy of their fortitude, to imitate their discipline, to be prepared for inevitable sacrifices.
