Famous WW2 Quote
"All that silly talk about the advance of science and such leaves me cold. Give me peace and a retarded science."Thomas Dodd, late 1945

The caption on this photo is incorrect. Whalen was not a RAF officer, he was a RCAF officer. Furthermore, in 1941 he was still a pilor officer. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Henry_Whalen)
