"Some flew east--some flew w~-Some flew over the .cuckoo's nest." ;

(Old nu~ry-rhyme)

Somewhere beyoru:I the Southern Crou above the Seven S.a1 Along the bitter far-off roads, their pinions catch the bfette'. Their wings are black a'gainst the sky, by de$ert, surf and du11t Their ancient lullaby is lost against a rougher tune-

Some' flew east-some flew 'west--And some will fly no more: Far, far out from the eagle's ne:st Their mighty motors roar. And wing by wing their rule wlll grow Above all sea and sod, Until they strile the final blow For country and for God.

Faintly, I hear the old, old song when golden dreams were you,_ But louder still I hear the wings where sudden death ls flung. Bravely the eagle rid~ the air, but in my fading dreams, The dim, lost lullaby returns-how far away it seems--

Some fly east--and some fly west--They take en endleR track. Thro1.19h flame and steel tltey face the test Around tile world and bec:k.

eir golden youth blots out the sky, let the comets plod,

one flies to live or die and for God.

This is the last page of the 44-H class book. But the book has a sequel-a sequel that will soon be written in Basic and Advanced schools, and finally in battle torn skies all over the 'World. It is then that the training and the flying knowledge inculcated in us here wih be translated into the articulate skill of a combat pllot.

As in every field of human endeavor, we'll all doubt­lessly look bad: on our period in Primary with a feeling of regret for things unaccomplished-for needlessly wasted time and energy. With this will go a resclve for better work, more effert ln the future.

In the same way the staff of this book acknowledges a regret that this could not be a more complete chronicle of the primary training of 44-H. We have tried to keep it a book solely for, and about, cadets and those involved in their training. Our aim and our hope is that it will serve the cadets as a lasting reminder of the work, worry, .and fun that made up their life at the "Flying B.'
