  • If only you knew how happy I am when I fly a plane! I never feel so completely close to God as when I'm up in the blue. So if you ever get a message that I’ve been in a crackup and have been killed, don't grieve for me more than you can possibly help; just know I died the way I wanted to. (en)
  • I am convinced, that if you girls hadn't gone to England, and were not doing the grand job that you are, that this [wasp] program would never have gotten started (en)
