"Mine are great!" McGee enthused. "Stiff, crusty young C.O., who needs a couple of crashes one fatal, maybe but the rest of them are fine. Great bunch of pilots." "Yeah?" Still reading, but doubtful. "See any of 'em fly?" "No-o," slowly, "of course not." "Um-m. Well, wait until they begin sticking the noses of those new Spads in the ground, and then tell me about 'em.
With the blessing of Providence we'll shoot Trevyllian in the morning, and any more of the heavies that like it. You are an ill-treated man, that's what it is, and Dan O'Shaughnessy says it.
