[PW] my traditional New Year's questions

[Dusty Gres]

Another resource to try would be the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum, 175
Bourne Ave. Pooler, GA 31322 (www.mightyeighth.org) 
Tel: 912.748.8888   Fax: 912.748.0209 

This museum is operated and manned by veterans of the 8th Air Force and they
may remember the song.

I sugguest  that you try _Fighter pilots song book_ by E. H.
Fernandes. The only library that seems to have it is the Air University
Library at Fairchild AFB, http://www.au.af.mil/au/aul/lane.htm. If it isn't
in that book, they may have another resource for it. BTW, I've seen this
quoted as "Son, be careful, fly low and slow."
