Quotes4

  • Squadron Leader Canfield: The *engine's* overheating, and so am *I*! Either we stand down, or *blow up*! Now *which* do you want?
  • Squadron Leader Canfield: [following the destruction of his airfield] And what flaming genius thought of sending us to that dump of a flying club?
  • Maintenance Officer: Don't blame me, direct orders from group. Park himself. It's not a bad little field.
  • Squadron Leader Canfield: I've seen it. Damp tents and a nasty little shack full of dead flies.
  • Maintenance Officer: Well at least you won't have the Jerries visiting you.
  • Squadron Leader Canfield: I don't blame'm.
  • Sgt. Pilot Chris: [the British Spitfire pilots are having an easy time shooting down the feared German Stuka Dive Bombers] It's like shooting rats in a barrel.
  • Squadron Leader Canfield: *You'll* be "in a barrel", if you don't watch out for the *fighters*!
  • Squadron Leader Canfield: Oh, I never could stand marching women.
