And in tho fullness of their need for tools, tho chosen ones went unto him

who was culled Supply, nnd ci.11lodupon him, and ho spake, saying - Verily, brethren

do I know thly wants, but some son of Belial hath either evacuated the Class 17

stock numbor they send me divers strange implements, and he showeth them cowling•

wrenches for the P-12;, and harmonization tools for tho A-17, and offored them WAC

shoes, and sent them on their Wqy.

Even in greater numbers came tho riders of the great iron birds and loft

them to be reloaded while they strode to tho tent of him who was called Intelli-

camp of tho enomyo dhorofore, he who was called Intelligence causod it all to be

written down, and caused it to bo classified Secret, 9nd tUrned the crank and

shouted unto the direct line to JOC1& b ut tho telephone availed not ..

Then he who was called Operations strode to tho line and spake thusly _

FEAMCOM, saying - wherefore kcepost thou me here if thou.sondcst not munitions?

And on the days whon there was no inventory, the chosen ones went forth to

mighty feats of arms, and spake of seventy, yea ovenef one hundred and seventy

passing tough up on the lino~ And each wont in his turn unto his tent and

annointed his carbine with oil, and checked hiB escape kit.

And in the f'ul.Ineasoft:imc it carne t o~")ass that three stricken iron birds

were made ready to fly a~ain~ And he who was called Base operations spake unto

him who was called Operations" saying - Wherefore fly we not together with the

they left the. valley" there came unto tho Oporations tent, throe now comers, whose

Y e T when they called upon Base Operations, it availed them not; for the fear of

the wrath of the Base Operations Officer was before him who answered th~ telephone

and he spake with a forked tongue, telling them that the radio availed him not.

s~, the Operation was carried forth, and great was the weeping and wailing in the,

camp of the enemy, for many of their war chariots ran not, and many were the war

And many times thoro came unto the valley ,.iron birds 'w'hosesurfaces shown

Even yet on some days tho face of the sun was hiddon, and the hosts of the

And t h e y who were called bootlo crushcrl;llengthened not the PX lines, for they

too had gone into the North,

And neW aircraft came to the valloy,J and the chosen onos watched their

when the thunder of the enemy was even 'greater than tho thunder of the new air-

whereof they listened with interest and with expression of astonishment". as was

A Fighter Pilot lay dyingThe Medics had left him for deadAll sound h im women were cryingAnd these are the words tha t he said:

~

Take the tail pipe out of my stomachTake the burner out of my brainTake the turbine out of my kidneyAnd assemble the Unit again

We are the boys who flyhigh in the sky

aosom buddies while boozinWe at-e the boys they send out to die .Bosom buddies while boozin

Down in the hangar they sing and tpe shoutTalkin of things they know nothing about

We are the boys who fly high in the skyBosom buddies while boozinBosom buddies while bOQzin

( G ho st R id e rs I n The Sky)

Old Gas Mask gang went out to flyOne dark and Y~indy d ayAnd as they taxied'past Iheard old Col Samways sayThe 80th is gonna fly live got a right to sweatIf you think theY're had in MustangsYou should see them in a jet.

! ! ! Yipee aye oh, Yipee aye aeHead hunters in the sky

The Flying Fiends and panthers too

Wish they had our prestigeTheyfre always trying to hit the blueIn some old rusty steed ,Their color$ blue and red will standBut one by one theytll goHe have to have them in the GroupBut what a bunch of schmoes.

CHORUS

,.

They lost their heads and gdve us jetsvlhich they will long rebre t

They took away our Mustangs and some ain't happy yetThe 80th has learned to fly this new tangled roachineBut strictly from hunger are the panthers and the Fiends.

CHORUS

Our Group C.O. is mighty fine and just the other day:t saw him walking on the line and this I heard him sayIf the 35th and 36th would just get on the ballIf they were as sharp as the 80thI'd have no S\'leat at all.

"Age has taken her beautyAnd fate has left her its scarSo remember your Mothers and Sisters, boys,And let her sleep under the bar."

Now listen all you pilots and you airmen

- We will tell you a story sad but true

Of many who wear wings but are not happy

•Gather round and wetll sing this song to you.

The many who wear wings but are not happy

Wear a smile on their lips, not in their hearts

They're overjoyed to wear the badge of an airman

But are sad in getting off to such bad starts.

A reason there must be for discontentment

• •, Why the gloom as dark as nay blacked out loop

Just ask them one and all and they will tell you

M Y name is Throttle Bender,I'm the leader of the gang;I burn up lot~ of engines,But I don't give a hang.To me full bore is normal cruise,'cause I don't give a dern,My boys can never catch me,TheY've got a lot to learn.

CHORUS: iie are the boys fr om I ta zukejieare the boys fr om I ta zo ok

W e are tho boys fr om I ta zukeWe fly with the 8th F ighte r Groop.

MY name is Throttle Bender,I'm the leader of the Group;I always cause con fusion ,But I don't give a hoot.I climb too slow, I dive too fast,I pull e xce ssive G I S .I know my boys are folio- win g,

I hear their knocking knees.

M Y name is Throttle Bender,I'm the leader of the Wing;I haven't led a group in years,So I d6n't know a thing,About tho wing formation, boys,That I am going to lead;But I 'm the .lin g Corriman de r,So there really is no need.

IV

NoW if you lead a flight, boysOr if you lead a Group,Lend an ear and you wil~ hear,The latest kind of poopFrom Tokeoyo to Sazzmago.You'll hear the boys all say;The loader bent the throttle, soI had it rough today.

Through the wall - through the wallThat bloody invisible wallThat transonic journey is nothing but roughAs bad as a ride on the local base busSo I'm staying away from the wallSubsonic for me and that's allIf youlre hot you might make itBut youlll probably break it -Your butt or your neck not the wall.

( } ? : _ ~ ~Bless 'em all - Bless fernallBless tiptanks and tailpipes and all.-Bless old man Locklecd for building this jetBut I know a guy who is cussing him yet'Cause he tried to go aver the wallWith tiptanks and tailpipes and all.The needles did cross and the wings did come offwith tiptanks and tailpipes ap.d all.

He's a wild and wooley cowboy from. the wild and wooley west

He went out to Chicago just to give the west a restHe carried two big six-guns underneath his vestAnd everywhere he wen~ he gaye his war whoop

CHORUS

He's just a big-bad bold old desporadoFrom Cripple Creek, way down in ColoradoAnd he rode around like a tornadoAnd everywhere he went he gave his war whoop

He met a little chorus girl who told him where to goHe hauled out his big wallet and sported all his doughShe said that she was sorry that she told him where to goAnd said that she would help him give his war whoop

CHORUS

He went to Coney Island just to soe the sightsHe saw the Hoochie Choochie and the girls all dressed in tightsHe got so drurned e xcited that he shot out all the lightsAnd everywhere he went he gave his war whoop

CHORUS
