I would like to mention that I have flown the 262 first in May '43. At this time, the aircraft was completely secret. I first knew of the existence of this aircraft only early in '42 - even in my position. This aircraft didn't have any priority in design or production.
If we have to use force, it is because we are America. We are the indispensable nation. We stand tall. We see further into the future.
I really never thought about the way I looked until boys came into the picture.
