Written in 1943, some people might suggest this song should not have been printed. Referring to a serious subject, it might have been in poor taste to make such references as coming in on one engine after returning from a bombing raid. Composer Jimmy McHugh also wrote such famous and well composed songs as "On the Sunny Side of the Street," and "I'm in the Mood for Love."
