stratasfan Posted February 3, 2018 Share #1 Posted February 3, 2018 Found this cool Airman's Hymn, while reading about a crash where two B-24s collided during formation flying practice. An Airman's Hymn By Llewllyn Berry When the last long flight is over And the happy landings past And my altimeter tells me That the crackup's come at last. I'll point her nose for the ceiling And I'll give my crate the gun I'll open her up and let her zoom For the airport of the sun. Then the great God of flying men Will look at me sort o'slow As I stow my plane in the hangar On the field where flyers go. Then I'll look upon his face The Almighty Flying Boss Whose wingspread fills the horizon From Orion to the Cross. Found among the personal papers of 2nd FLt. Clair A. Clark Co pilot of Lt., Jenkins plane. He was killed in the crash. (http://www.santafetrailscenicandhistoricbyway.org/b24.html) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
