著名二戰名言
"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."Winston Churchill, on the RAF
26 Apr 2015 01:01:58 AM
Having earned his pilots wings in 1915, Captain (later Vice Admiral) Marc A. Mitscher, who commanded the USS Hornet from 1941 which famously launched Doolittles raiders against Tokyo, appeared much older than many of his contemporarys. His slight frame and wizened features (inevitably crowned by a lobsterman's cap) was an utterly competent and authorative officer. His aggressive approach to battle soon earned him the affectionate nickname of 'The Ferocious Gnome'. Never one to enjoy the limelight, he shunned publicity - but his taciturn manner covered a deep concern for his men, who rewarded him with immense loyalty and affection.
