...valley of the Kanawha River where the old but still snappy Boeing would have plenty of room to gain some altitude. But also ahead was a high tension line and Russell Wright knew he could not clear it. He eased to the left, squeaked over another power line (they surround too many U.S. fields) and headed up a wide ravine into the hills.

To preserve morale on both sides, and because the arithmetic was next to impossible, true figures on the loss of life were glossed over officially. But it could be guessed that not less than 500,000 men were killed, wounded or captured in seven days on a patch of earth about the size...
Critical early rear-area fighting also raged in the bright tulip fields around The Hague, which the Germans bracketed with parachute parties in an apparent attempt to surround and capture Queen Wilhelmina and her Ministers.* One band was mopped up near Valkenburg. The Dutch troops with light arms and fast U. S. cars were directed to the "fallen angels' " landings by military and commercial radio...
