Another Lemay story: The General was inspecting a row of alert B-47's with a lit cigar in his mouth. The young airman security guard blocked his way. " no smoking near these aircraft General! The aircraft might catch fire" Supposed the General said "they would not dare!" The airman got a spot promotion

Ya know Clem, I've probably read that story at least a hundred times or more. Different aircraft types, as the story went, but the same "They would not dare" consistently. Very likely a true story at some (or several) time(s)! DD
