[Music] [Music] special delivery the delivery of that which is uncommon exceptional in char different from others special delivery Army Air Force style is designed for a particular function but unlike other highly specialized functions is not limited in range aims or purposes during times of War air power is war power as destructive as is necessary to destroy the enemy but aaf planes large and
