Keep 'Em Flying Page #3

---

Go on, order something

small. Give me a small steak.

What did I just get

through telling you?

What do you keep coaxing

me for? Never mind that!

No matter how much I coax,

you don't want anything.

Now sit down

and behave yourself.

That turkey sandwich

and a cup of coffee, please.

Turkey sandwich and a cup of coffee? Yes.

But he don't care for

anything. Thanks. Yes.

Where are you going? Out of here.

What for? You won't let me get nothing.

You'll get half

of the sandwich.

Hiya, fellas. What'll you

have? Here we go again.

Do I have to write it

down? Oh, a smart guy.

You're kinda cute. Where's my

turkey sandwich and a cup of coffee?

Turkey sandwich,

cup of coffee. Okay.

That's for you.

Blackie, she gave me

the cake for nothing.

That don't mean we're engaged,

does it? Certainly not.

I'm too young to fall in love. Love.

Here's your turkey sandwich. Thanks.

I'm sorry I took so long. That's all right.

I hope you enjoy it. I will.

That'll cost you 10 cents. You

just gave it to me for nothing.

There must be some mistake. Indian giver.

Do you like cranberries? Oh, sure.

I do too.

That's funny.

I'll get you some.

All right.

I thought

she liked me.

What do you mean?

Why should she...

Be quiet.

We ain't got

no more turkey.

Huh? What's the matter with the cake?

Why don't you eat the

cake? I lost my appetite.

Is there anything

else I can do?

Is there any way you could

sneak us through the gate?

It's against

the rules,

but the guard's

a friend of mine.

I think I could

kinda fix it for you.

Now she likes me again.

Wait. I'll get my hat.

Go on, eat the cake.

It's on me.

What does she chew, tobacco? No.

She only went, "click,

click. " Oh, drives a horse.

Go on, eat the cake.

Okay.

Here's your cranberries. Thanks.

Looks good. I said, "That'll

be 10 cents, please. "

You gave me the cake for nothin' when

you went to get your hat. Hat? What hat?

When you said you was gonna

sneak us through the gate.

I never told you I was gonna

sneak you through any gate.

First you told me I can have the cake

for nothin', then I can't have it.

Then you say there ain't no

turkey, and then there is turkey.

You say you're gonna sneak us

through the gate, and now you're not!

Why don't you

make up your mind!

How dare you

yell at me.

I'm a brute, huh?

Well.

Are you gonna give me half? All right.

Come on, I got my hat.

Let's hit the road!

Let's get out of here.

Okay?

Let's see how

those boys get in.

Howdy, boy!

Over here,

mister.

Hop to,

mister!

Oh!

Take this bag,

mister!

Where's your platoon?

Get over there!

Left, face.!

Forward...

I'm sorry.

Forward,

march.!

Back here, mister,

on the double!

Drive out.

Get on the ball, jackpot.

Drive out

before I get rough!

Plenty rough!

Understand that?

Get those

heads up.!

Mister, throw back

those shoulders.

Put some hair

on that chest.

Make a move! You observing

me, mister? Turn around.

Hut, two,

three, four.!

That must be the new class.

I don't seeJinx. Do you? No.

Maybe we came to the wrong place. Oh, no.

Gentlemen,

by your presence here...

you have indicated your ambition

to become a part of...

the greatest air force

the world has ever known.

I congratulate you

upon your decision.

In point of years,

the story of the army air corps

is a brief one.

But it is also

a distinguished one.

Your training of 20 weeks here

will be an exacting task,

but when it is completed,

you will go on to...

advanced training in the army's

West Point of the air.

When you graduate,

you will be commissioned...

in the air corps

of the United States Army.

Some of you won't

make the grade,

but being washed out as fliers

needn't mean you're out of the service.

There are other jobs in the corps

that are just as important:

aeronautical engineers,

observers, navigators,

meteorologists, photographers

and a host of others.

Remember:

for every pilot

that hits the blue,

it takes many other

highly trained men...

to keep his ship in shape,

on its course,

and properly manned.

Those men are

the backbone of the corps.

I'll turn you over now

to Major Barstow,

who will be in charge

of your instruction.

Gentlemen,

you are in the army.

While you are here,

your flying instructor...

will be your most

important associate.

Although that flight instructor

is a civilian,

you must remember that

he is acting in the capacity...

of an officer of the army,

and will be treated as such.

Best of luck,

and keep 'em flying.

Hey, Heathcliff,

there's Jinx now!

Don't you wish you could

fly a plane like him?

Not me. I wanna stay

on the terra firma.

And the firma the terra,

the terra I'm gonna firma.

Take over, mister. Detail. Ten-hut.!

Forward, march!

Major Barstow's compliments,

and report to his office.

Major? Thank him for the

compliments and show me the way.

Here, bud.

Hut, two, three, four.! Hut, two,

three, four.! Hut, two, three, four.!

Well, look who's here,

and on my reception committee too.

You look swell in that uniform.

Wait till you see me in mine.

That may be

quite a wait.

Here you are, mister.

This way.

Okay, okay.

See you later,

beautiful.

Good morning, Major.

My name is Roberts.

They told me

to report at 11:
00.

Nice timing, eh?

As I observed.

For your information, Mr. Roberts,

this is a flying school, not a circus.

I trust that your entrance just now

was intended to be a joke.

But understand, this school is under army

supervision, and army regulations hold.

Those regulations are definite,

and they are enforced.

Unless you intend to obey them,

you'd better leave.

I think I'll stick around,

Major.

It's apparent that you've had

flying experience, of a sort.

That makes

no difference here.

You're to start from scratch,

learn to fly our ships our way.

Get Mr. Morrison.

You'll be assigned

to an experienced instructor...

who will have direct charge of your

training throughout your course.

Yes, Major?

A new student for you,

Mr. Morrison... Mr. Roberts.

So, you're gonna

teach me to fly.

Well, if I'm not

the lucky one.

I know Roberts, Major,

very well.

So you're acquainted with the

many things he's got to unlearn.

Here we are.

Hello, Jinx!

How are you?

Glad to see you.

Hey, don't he do wonderful

things in an airplane?

Young man,

you're intruding!

I think so too.

I should wear a girdle.

Who are these men? These

two guys are my pals.

That guy over there, I don't

know him. Who are these men?

Must be hard of hearing.

These two guys are my pals!

That guy over there... Quiet!

I didn't get it at first. Now

I get it. I thought you meant...

Take your hand off first.

I got heads, you lose.

Will someone

answer my question?

Perhaps Roberts

could help you out.

We're his private ground

crew. Private ground crew?

So you didn't think our mechanics

were good enough for you, eh?

Get these men outside the

grounds, and keep them out!

Wait a minute.

You can't do that.
