The Airlift
The drab gray cabin vibrated and thrummed, jarring Martin from his murky sleep. “Hang on back there,” the pilot, Adam, called from the cockpit in a Midwestern accent so thick Martin could imagine a hay stalk bobbing between his lips. “They’re getting a bit feisty on us.”

The engines came to life as the jet lifted off, leaving the land far below. Amanda stared out the window, marveling at the view of the world from above.

Mission to Munster
The views and opinions expressed in this story are solely that of the author, unless stated otherwise. It was a beautiful fall day at Thorpe Abbott RAF airbase. Ground and buildings got smaller as the gigantic B-17, Royal Flush, slowly climbed to its cruising altitude. Looking out of the cockpit, Robert, "Rosie" Rosenthal's thoughts turned once more to the early morning briefing. This mission was different than the last two, as the target was going to be civilians. He and the crew were tired. This was the third straight mission in as many days. Schweinfurt and Bremen had been extremely stressful. The number of casualties and fighter planes were both high. "Penny for your thoughts," aske Winifred "Pappy" Lewis, Rosie's Copilot. "Just thinking about today's mission," Rosie answered. "This is the first time we're going to bomb civilian targets." "That's ok," Pappy answered." "The Grouts have taken enough of our boys. They've got what's coming to them. Anyway, any sign of our fighter escort? We're already across the Channel, half way to the Baltic." "Nothing yet, but they're probably just delayed, Rosie replied."

Dee smiled, joy spreading across her face and filling her soul, as she pulled the yellow nose of the Piper Cub higher and felt the familiar rush of air under her wings. Well, not her wings, the plane’s wings. Although, there really wasn’t much difference, now was there?
