Text: Quote by John Gillespie Magee, Jr., WWI fighter pilot: "Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth... and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings... reached out and touched the face of God." Artist's comment: "Lt. Magee was killed in action. If flying an old biplane inspired words like this, what marvelous things might he have written after flying an F-18, or the Space Shuttle!?"
