THE FORGOTTEN MECHANIC
“Now pilots are highly trained people,
And wings are not easily won.
But without the work of the maintenance man
Our pilots would march with a gun.
So when you see a mighty aircraft
As they mark their way through the air,
The grease-stained man
With the wrench in his hand
Is the man who put them there.”
