    Remembering the Forgotten Mechanic

    Through the history of world aviation
    many names have come to the fore.
    Great deeds of the past in our memory will last,
    as they're joined by more and more.

    When man first started his labor
    in his quest to conquer the sky,
    He was designer, mechanic and pilot,
    and he built a machine that would fly

    But somehow the order got twisted,
    and then in the public's eye
    the only man that could be seen
    was the man who knew how to fly.

    The pilot was everyone's hero:
    he was brave, he was bold, he was grand,
    as he stood by his battered biplane
    with his goggles and helmet in hand.
    To be sure, these pilots all earned it,
    to fly then you had to have guts.
    And they blazed their names in the hall of fame
    on wings with bailing wire struts.

    But for each of these flying heroes,
    there were thousands of little renown,
    And these were were the men who worked on the planes,
    but kept there feet on the ground.

    We all know the name of Lindbergh,
    and we've read of his flight to fame
    But think, if you can,
    of his maintenance man,
    can you remember his name?

    And think of our wartime heroes
    and all the acclaim that they got
    Can you tell me the names of their crew chiefs?
    A thousand to one you cannot.

    So when you see the mighty jet aircraft
    as they mark their way through the air,
    Remember the grease-stained men and women with the wrench in their hand;
    they're the ones who put them there.
