the two craft in a crashing arc--was
neither seen nor heard by Danny. Danny was too busy to notice, for he
was engaged in smiling converse with one whom he called the "Infant"
and whose pink and white face beamed gladly upon him "like a damned
little cherub," as Danny was telling him....

But the Chief of the Mountain Division who saw all from afar could say
nothing. He only stared from the lookout of his own speeding plane
that framed a picture of two ships; where the red one, flaming from
within, kept on in its swift, straight dive; while the white one fell
slowly, turning sluggishly to show its gashed and blasted sides ...
till the black clouds wrapped them both in a billowy shroud....

But clouds are no bar to man's inner vision. And the Chief looked
through, as Danny had done, to see as in a lightning flash a world
beaten to its knees, hopeless, ravaged and scarred--a world where
courage might again be born--a world that would still be a world of
men.
