Hello MMD. Craig Brougher has just sent me the lyrics of the
song titled "Wait Till You Get Them Up In The Air, Boys".
After my previous message I remembered that I do have another
aeroplane-related roll.  It's a Mastertouch roll No. 4163,
called "You Can't Step Back From An Aeroplane", played by Edith
Murn, one of Mastertouch's regular and long-term recording
artists.

Both of these songs convey roughly the same message; if you can
lure a young lady into your flying machine she will become as
putty in your hands.  This seems a highly dubious proposition to
me.  In a pre-1930 aeroplane I suspect the pilot would be fully
occupied with keeping his machine in the air, with both hands
on the controls at all times.  He would make more progress on
the back porch, or in the long grass at a park.  I am speaking
theoretically here, of course.
