Re: Air Power

I came across this quote in Letters and thought it very interesting in the context of the current drift of this discussion:<blockquote>Quote:<hr> But it is the aeroplane of war that is the real villain. And nothing can really amend my grief that you, my best beloved [Christopher], have any connexion with it. My sentiments are more or less those that Frodo would have had if he discovered some Hobbits learning to ride Nazgûl-birds, &quot;for the liberation of the Shire&quot;.<hr></blockquote>
