:19:01
Shall I phone and tell him I've caught the
mumps or something and stay a while?
:19:08
Yeah, sure. Do that.
:19:09
Did you hear what I said?
I'm offering to stay another week.
:19:12
What? Oh, another week.
Why, darling, that will be wonderful.
:19:15
I hope you can make it.
Look, will you excuse me just a moment?
:19:18
I must talk to these fellas.
:19:20
Why do I keep tossing myself at you?
Why am I such a chump?
:19:23
Darling, you're not a chump.
I'll be right back.
:19:29
Say, could I buy you fellas a drink?
:19:33
No, thanks.
:19:37
I just... Oh, thanks, I'll have it here.
:19:42
I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry
for sounding off that way this morning.
:19:45
I guess we're all wound up
a bit too tight.
:19:47
Yeah.
:19:50
You know, this blackout in dive-bombing
is a very interesting medical subject.
:19:56
I just read a report on it.
:19:57
Seems those German Stuka pilots
have been hit hard.
:20:00
You find a way to make
pullouts easier?
:20:02
Sure. Cut down your diving speed with
flaps and just hang up there in the air.
:20:06
Then you're a pushover
for antiaircraft fire.
:20:09
Yeah, it's tough, all right.
:20:10
But I still think with proper research,
we'll lick those problems.
:20:13
It's a cinch. The new German bombers
are coming in at about 38,000 feet.
:20:17
All RAF fighters have to do is top
that by a few thousand feet to attack.
:20:20
Trouble is, when you're that high,
you're unconscious.
:20:23
Say, that brings up
another interesting problem.
:20:25
Dr. Collins has new work on high-altitude
sickness. What's it doing to your outfit?
:20:29
Three men in the sickbay,
and one funeral.
:20:32
We don't know whether that last one
was high-altitude sickness...
:20:35
...blackout or just too much
smart surgery.
:20:40
It must be pretty uncomfortable
up at 30,000 feet, isn't it?
:20:43
Not at all, doc, it's great sport.
:20:45
Freeze, get nutty from no oxygen,
crash, break your neck.
:20:48
You ought to try it some time.
:20:51
Thanks. Well, just thought we might
learn something from each other.
:20:54
I've learned one thing from you.
:20:56
If you pill rollers flew more,
you might find how to help.
:20:59
- I agree with you.
- How many hops you made this week?
