"I'm inclined to say the same," Tom added quietly, though his face displayed an eagerness he did not otherwise betray. With that Lieutenant Beverly squeezed a hand of each. "I mean to start things going shortly," he told them. "And you'll surely hear from me, for I must keep track of you boys." "Where is the big Martin bomber now, did you say?" asked Jack.
If a badly trained bomber loses his head, pulls the pin of his bomb, and lets it drop instead of throwing it, the whole platoon is endangered. In this way the soldier unconsciously absorbs some of the principles of, and can understand the reason for, discipline, and acquires a wholesome respect for the man who knows his job.
They could not conceive, as they expressed it, how a man could be such a blinking idiot to join the Suicide Club. I was beginning to feel sorry that I had become a member of said club, and my life to me appeared doubly precious. Now that I was a sure enough bomber, I was praying for peace and hoping that my services as such would not be required.
Are you planning a trip to the moon, after Jules Verne's yarn?" "No. But something that has as yet never been attempted," came the steady reply. "It is a flight across the Atlantic to America in the big bomber plane, and starting this very night!" Major Denning was greatly astonished when Lieutenant Beverly made so astounding an assertion.

Tonight I can tell you of dramatic changes in our strategic nuclear force. These are actions we are taking on our own, because they are the right thing to do. After completing 20 planes for which we have begun procurement, we will shut down production of the B-2 bomber. We will cancel the ICBM program. We will cease production of new warheads for our sea-based missiles.
"All my men for to-night are veterans at the game. Captain Prescott, do you wish to try your hand as a bomber tonight?" "I am more expert, Lieutenant, with an automatic pistol." "Very good, then; you may stick to that weapon," agreed the lieutenant. "The sergeant and three men will carry their rifles; the other three men will serve as bombers.
T. Matthewson, who was a really expert bomber, and by my orderly L.-C. Fairclough. This training took all morning, and as far as I could judge the men were interested in the course and did their best to learn the intricacies of this new weapon. In the afternoon I was free to wander round and examine the surrounding country.
"For a grown officer an' gentleman haulding the certeeficate of the Royal Flying Coorp, to think ma machine were a bomber! Did ye no' look oop an' see me? Did ye no' look thankfully at yeer obsairvor, when, wi' a hooricane roar, the Terror of the Air-r hurtled across the sky 'Saved! ye said to yersel'; 'saved an' by Tam!
