How Technology Changed since the War
Transcript
But there were a lot of good things that came out of the war,
technology. Post war, when you think of going through the,
the air force expanded after the war and then of course gone down
to very, very sad circumstances now, but in that transition
period, I lived through the Arrow, I lived though technology,
and the technology, when I think of now, who would believe 25
years ago, leave alone 50, what is occurring in the world,
in a technological sense. The country's under threat and
we don't know who and where the enemy is. In those days, it was
simple, we knew who the enemy was in Europe and we knew
who the enemy was in the Pacific. And so it's difficult and it's
such a breadth of experience that I would have a very
difficult time of telling my grandchildren and
future generations of what I lived through.
