Well, they were running away from, your cousins, I believe.

Actually, he volunteered, just like the rest who were running away from
your cousins.

WVB was a pretty smart cookie. He knew that he would have nearly unlimited
freedom to develop anything he wanted, and wouldn't have to live in the
confines of the Russian labor camps, like those poor bastards who couldn't
run fast enough.

Americans, of course.

Wrong. The Horton vas a dream, comrad. It was never a flying aircraft.

Gawd dam you're long winded. All for naught though.
