I was in England recently. I was there on business, But it wasn't business that took me down to Archbury, to the quiet countryside beyond the town. A group of tired, sagging buildings off the road.

A tall wooden pole with a tattered wind sock, hanging limply from its peak. A concrete runway stretching off across the fields. The weeds growing wild between the cracks. The grease and oil stains almost faded out.

I stood there quietly, lost in my thoughts. And in the sudden rush it all came back. 1942, the early days of the war. I was major stove all then. Group Agent with the 918th. The hard luck group they used to call us, tail-in Charlie's.

And Lord Ha-ha and Berlin was giving us the rad. Tonight I bring a special reading from the fighter palace in the Luftwaffe to the first American pilots in England, the eight therefores. That's all we need.
