-FOREWORD ..

This compilation of Air Corps Songs is an attempt to fill along felt need. By searf,hing avdlable resources and throughcontributions of individuals, we have collected herein a numberof songs written during the World War No. land therenfter atdifferent times and under various circumstances.Manyof the ver-ses are well knovn, Others are not. The music formost of tho verses is not included but all render themselves adapt-able to some \-Je11 knownair. llppearing also are a number of songs ofothor services, well knownfor their melodies and usually renderedby all service "Barber Shop Quartets" at about 2.300 011 Saturdaynights.We are grateful to all contributors and express our aPJ?rociationto the Order of Daedalians (IISongs of the ArmyFlyors") and tothe authors of "Songs My Nothor Never Taught No", from which songbooks many of the versos ho r-e L n Here taken. The contributorslisted nrc not necessarily the authors of tho verses. To the un-knownauthor-s we thorefor express our indebtedness. He are mostappr-ocdnt.Lvo of the "pick and shovel" Hark of Lioutennnts P. Smithand G. L. vJertonhnckor, S/Sgt. J. H. Bnlstcr, and Corp. N. J. DoBoorin the preparation of this song book. It is hoped to improve it bycddd.ng ether songs. Any contr:i.butions contributing to this will begrr.tofully received.li.ir Corps tradition is prodfcabcd upon moeting gr-ave and difficultsituations with light hearts and high spirit; upon vio\-ling poss-ibilities of sudden death \-lith detachment and levity. It is atradition which carz-Le s us through trial and tribu1o.tion to ultim-ate successful accomplishment. That tradition is expressed in songsof the Air Corps. He hope that , by the compilo.tion of this groupof songs, we hDve contributed our little bit to the osprit do corpsand traditions of the ~\ir Corps.

.from "Songs My Hother :ijcver Tnught He")It is a woll ~lown fact thct tllo Air $prvice (flying personnel,Ki-His and others) made a considerable hiti~Jith whv.tevcr ladies were prc- 1sont. Infantrymen- will say, "Nowondcr, tl}~ aviators weren't bothered by

the wnr particularly. They had to sp~nd t~~ir time doing something. Withtho trick uni.f'orms, Once in front of the ~~lrService Headquar-ter-s at 4451 1 .venue Montc.igno, Paris, France, a group oft!Lmcricen Iwia tor s found them-selves saluting a General. Tho General wasj:a very \vell-knoHn American and.fam01Jsfor his hard-boiled mannor, He ge.vo,\he pilots one look. Theiruniforms near-Ly caused him heart-failure. '~"WhatArmydo you belong to? II he rOD.r~d."The United States Army, Sir," answer~d one informative youngSecond Lieutenant. ~"Well," continued the General, "I'll b God-damnedif you'd everknow it f'ronl tho uniforms you'ro wee.rin'.11 !In every community thore are a fow folks who know the "onl.y authenticversion" of "Frankie and Johnnie". l.void them! Undor certain conditions(particularly when crossed in an argument) they became violent. Tho 1I.rmyversions noted pelow lack quite a lot of the Rabelaisian verve_found intho original. For, according to tho "authentic" St. Louis ba.Llad, Frankiewas a simple lady of the streets, living in a "crib house Hith only twodoorsll, whognve all she earned to Johnnie, who in turn spent it on someof his other sweethearts, thereupon t\'lo-timing Frc..nkie. "He was her manand he done her wrong, II etc.1.s in the O[I.SC of most songs of tho oldon days, Frankie and Johnnie( \ o l ) are told) dates back to 1850; tho lyrics are of necessity quito'snd.Folks, it seems (in the olden days), wanted to knowabout the poor little

dead baby, or the murdered lover, or the husbandless wife, or about thowrongs men do women,etc. In prnctictlly every version of IIFrankie andJohnnie" someone gets bumped off end in the; 45th verse, the nora L is broughtout, nDmely, "There ain't no good in men," Ico.use "he wcs her man and hedono her wrong."
