: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?
:21:01
Me? None. I'm not a flight surgeon,
just a routine doctor.
:21:04
Then keep your amateur flying talk
to yourself, doc...
:21:07
...till you get your feet off the ground.
:21:09
Pilots like Swede die because
so-called experts can't keep them alive.
:21:12
- You don't even fly, and still you got...
- Wait a minute. Listen, I'm on your side.
:21:17
I agree. Medical science is far too much
in the dark about these things.
:21:20
Then give the flight surgeons a hand.
Maybe all they need is a genius like you.
:21:24
Wouldn't it be funny
if that's what they did need?
:21:27
lt'd be more than funny.
It'd be a first-class, full-grown miracle.
:21:31
Give me a check.
:21:48
Remember me?
Linda, the girl you met out there.
:21:50
I'm sorry for staying away so long.
:21:52
I didn't mean to.
We got on some important subjects.
:21:55
So I surmised. I also surmise I'm not
one of them, as far as you're concerned.
:21:59
- Don't be mad.
- Oh, I'm not mad.
