Life Is A Culmination Of The Past,

I Believe The Risks I Take Are Justified By The Sheer Love Of The Life I Lead.

It Was That Quality That Led Me Into Aviation In The First Place — It Was A Love Of The Air And Sky And Flying, The Lure Of Adventure, The Appreciation Of Beauty. It Lay Beyond The Descriptive Words Of Man — Where Immortality Is Touched Through Danger, Where Life Meets Death On Equal Plane; Where Man Is More Than Man, And Existence Both Supreme And Valueless At The Same Instant.

Life's Values Originate In Circumstances Over Which The Individual Has No Control.

Not Long Ago, When I Was A Student In College, Just Flying An Airplane Seemed A Dream. But That Dream Turned Into Reality.

The Idea Of Racial Inferiority Or Superiority Is Foreign To Me. I Can't Feel Inferior Or Superior To Another Man Because Of Race, Or In Any Way Antagonistic To Him. I Judge By The Individual, Not By His Race, And Have Always Done So. I Would Rather Have One Of My Children Marry Into A Good Family Of Any Race Than Into A Bad Family Of Any Other Race.
