Tail-End Charley Quotes

“WRITE IT DOWN, JAMIE’ The brown leather cover of the book feels smooth and worn after all this time. It rests easily in my left hand before I open it, just as I had held it while sitting on army cots in Italy, France, and Germany. I look down at some publisher’s idea of a snappy title with unusual capitalization, “my stretch in the Service.” Those words are printed in script, now a faded green, once a bright gold.”
― James E. Brown, Tail-End Charley: Stories from an American fighter pilot in World War II
