To see "Hells Angels" —The scenes in the air maginificent—what beautiful things are airplanes, the most beautiful things are airplanes, the most beautiful things man has created—My longing to own one, to drive one is so great sometimes as to make me momentarily ill—like homesickness.
Charles Burchfield, September 12, 1931
