 * 1.) "'Blow jobs,' the bomber crews called them, but no one was eager to be on the receiving end of the twin-engine German jet fighters that scream down our formations to quickly hit and run." || This quote shows who they were fighting against. The Germans had a very powerful airplane that they had to fight against. ||
 * 2.) "God, we had fun during those last months in England. As Andy put it, 'Captain Yeager may be very busy, but some how he will manage to fit into his daily program both dogfighting and hell-raising.'" || Even though Captain Yeager was a very serious man who took care of his business, he still had fun. He liked goofing around with his group. I think thats very cool. ||
 * 3.) "German pilots dove for their lives in dogfights---in a desperate gamble to get us off their tails. Sometimes they never did pull out and plowed into the ground. More than once, I almost followed them in. Diving at more than 500 mph, my Mustang began to shake violently and my controls froze. I nearly bent that damned stick straining to pull out." || The Germans would do anything to get Captain Yeager off their tails. Sometimes they would crash into the ground, but luckily he pulled out right before he crash also. ||
 * 4.) "In May 1953, a pilot named Jacqueline Cochran set a new world speed record of 652 mph on a one-hundred-kilometer course at Edwards, flying a Canadian-built Sabre. Jackies's record was my project. I was her teacher and chase pilot. || He was a very good teacher. She beat his record, but he was proud of her. ||
 * 5.) "There was two fields on either side, and I started to set myself up on one of them. But I was sinking too past coming in on a dead stick to make one field, and was really too high to use all of the other field, so we came in between the two, directly in the path of a farmhouse, a chicken house, a smokehouse, and a well." || That was a dangerous landing, but he pulled it off luckily. He was a gutsy man who did what he had to do to help his country. ||
