Recitative Lyrics by Marc Blitzstein

The Airborne Symphony

1946

The planes! The planes! The planes!
The planes!

Pilots up! Bombardier to crew, crew to squadron, squadron to group

The planes!
The sky! You cannot see the sky!

Pilots up! Group to wing, wing to command, command to command of the air might of the nations

The planes! The planes! The planes!
The planes! You cannot see the sky!

On the prowl, on the march, the planes, the planes!
