I wanted to tell the story about air power, but I didn't want to lecture people. Let the story come out of the anecdotes. ... The other thing I wanted to do was create some romance, some passion about things that go on in the military. So it goes well beyond airplanes and bombs and strategy and national policy. It goes into things like families, into how wives kiss their husbands good-bye when they go off to war. |
The title came from the guys who flew in World War II and Korea who risked their lives and suffered so much to teach us young guys that were going to replace them how to become good in combat. We had a training program called 'Every Man a Tiger' where they trained you to feel that you could dominate air battle. Anybody who went up against you, you were going to kick their ass. That's what it's all about. |
