Laughing, talking, swapping experiences, listening in good-natured silence to the "balling out" that so often came from the harried and sweating instructors, splendid young gods were these airmen, super-heroes in an heroic age and time. In the shade of one of the hangars sat two boys. They were blind and deaf to the sights and sounds around and over them.
An example of what I mean is the reference to R.F.C. officers, during a Parliamentary debate, as "the super-heroes of the war," a term which, for ungainly absurdity, would be hard to beat. To those who perpetrate such far-fetched phrases I would humbly say: "Good gentlemen, we are proud to have won your approval, but for the Lord's sake don't make us ridiculous in the eyes of other soldiers."
