At random: Among the 'first' that Electric Boat Division has introduced into American submarines, have been the marine Diesel engine, the perfected use of the storage battery, the combination of battery and internal combustion engine, and the world's first adaptation of nuclear energy to propulsion in the USS NAUTILUS.

Those old warbirds and their crews served us in a world at war. They remain beautiful birds of prey. Somehow when I see one I feel a deep sense of history that bridges the years between me and the airman who flew them. I am a pilot and the lure of those beauties never will leave me until the day I die. I wouldn't try to glamorize war but what they represent today is the courage that sent young men aloft to fight for freedom when the world was engulfed in flames.
