High Flight by John Gillespie Magee, Jr.

Back 5

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hovering there
I've chased the shouting wind along and flung
My eager craft through the footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace,
Where never lark or even eagle flew;
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Air Force Song (Verse I)

Back 6

Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing high into the sun;
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,
At em boys, giver the gun!
Down we dive spouting our flames from under,
Off with one hell-uv-a-roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame,
Nothing'll stop the US Air Force!

Front 7

Air Force Song (Verse II)

Back 7

Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder,
Sent it high into the blue;
Hands of men blasted the world asunder,
How they lived God only knew!
Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer
Gave us wing, ever to soar.
With scouts before and bombers galore,
Nothing can stop the US Air Force!

Front 8

Air Force Song (Verse III)

Back 8

Here is a toast to the host of those who
Love the vastness of the sky;
To a friend we send the message of his
Brother men who fly.
We drink to those who gave their all of old,
Then down we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold.
A toast to the host of men we boast
The US Air Force.

Air Force Song (Verse IV)

Back 9

Off we go into the wild sky yonder,
Keep the wings level and true!
If you'd live to be a gray haired wonder,
Keep the nose out of the blue!
Flying men guarding our nation's borders,
We'll be there followed by more.
In echelon we carry on!
Nothing'll stop the US Air Force
