noticed RR quoted first and last lines of High Flight.  The young Canadian flyer who wrote the poem died during the Battle of Britain at only 19yo.

I don't recall which one it was, but before TV was a 24-hr marathon, in 1960s one of the Phx stations would shut down for the night with someone narrating that poem. I think this was the one that was used.

Was in my first year of college at UC Davis.  Just came back from Chemistry and saw it on the Dorm Commons TV.  Tragic.
