My all-time favourite quote, and I know it has nothing to do with WW1 aviation but I can't resist adding it, was when the famous British abstract sculptor Henry Moore was showing some of his recent works to a visiting writer. Pointing to a abstract sculpture of a female nude, Moore said, "I had to use a special tool to do her".
To which the writer replied, "So would I"
True story!

Funny. Thanks for sharing it.
