Songs of the Air Force: Gallant Beginning (Vinyl)

From the vaults of Altissimo comes "Songs of the Air Force: Gallant Beginnings," a limited-edition vinyl album that is only available while quantities last!

From the Back Cover: "The entire history of the United States Air Force is no longer than the span of one lifetime. There are still fliers of World War I who hold reunions (not too often anymore). During this time, mankind has progressed from the "Gallant Beginnings" of flight to vehicles that fly in space!...The majority of songs on this album are hilarious, a tribute to the airman's ability to turn a nightmare of war into a night of merriment. Other songs are boasts or barbs about organizations, individuals, aircraft, women, the enemy, allies, and host of other subjects.  But, the underlying emotions are always the same; the Joy of slipping freely thorugh the boundless sea of air; the Pride of being America's best; the Sadness of remembering friends who died before their time; and the unspoken thought that you may be the next to go."
