"You love a lot of things if you live around them, but there isn't any woman and there isn't any horse, nor any before or any after, that is as lovely as a great airplane, and the men who love them are faithful to them even though they leave them for others. A man has only one virginity to lose in fighters, and if it's a lovely plane he loses it to, there his heart will ever be."
Ernest Hemingway
August, 1944
