“During World War II, the enemy aircraft conducted a devastating strafe, causing widespread destruction and panic among the civilians.”

“Richard Strafer and author Norman Mailer each have singled out Gilmore as the prototype of one who plotted his own dramatic end.”

“The Camel was a different kind of aircraft that hosted a ground strafer, a night fighter and more, but it was dwarfed in the advancement of other aircraft.”

“It glides to a momentary stop over the edge of the enemy beachhead, then strafes its way across, shooting dangerously close to our own troops.”

“His target splits with a satisfying rumble, and then the fragments detonate as he strafes them with more bullets.”

“White light strafes the railyard as freight trains churn and click past burned-out tanneries, car yoked to car.”
