"I got a real raking for not turning over Stan"s record to Farrell as soon as we were transferred," Allison said with a grin. "I now tender my apologies but, after the first spoofing I did, I clean forgot about those reports. They didn"t seem important. Stan is one of the best pilots in the Royal Air Force, and what we need is fighters."
"It"s all over now, and I accept your apology," Stan said.
O"Malley scowled suddenly. "Do you gents think we"ll ever get to see any more action? I bet we won"t."
He was answered by the intersquadron speaker. It began rasping:
"Red Flight, all out. Red Flight, all out. Bandits sighted over the Dover coast. Heavy fighter escort of Messerschmitt One-Tens."
