His experience in world war i. Good evening. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to barnes noble bethesda. We are delighted to have marc wortman with us this evening. Mr. Wortman is an awardwinning journalist and the former editor at yale alumni magazine. His book the millionaires unit is about a generation of privileged young men prepared to risk it all to fight a distant war in france. Driven by the belief their membership in the american elite required certain sacrifice, they led the way before america declared formally to join the war. The bulk of this group, the Yale Aero Club, became the first squadron in the u. S. Navy air reserve. The press dubbed them the millionaires unit. Without further ado please join me in welcoming mr. Marc wortman. [applause] well, thank you for coming out this evening. Thank you to barnes noble for having me. This is as many of you know a home coming of sorts. Having grown up in bethesda, it is wonderful to see so many old friends here. Especia

Well, thank you very much indeed. Now, normally when i give a talk of any description, and ive given quite a number in the last week while ive been in america, i usually have a little repertory of anecdotes with which i commence, and i had one prepared this evening. But strangely enough, something happened to me on the way here which meant that i decided to scrap it and talk about Something Else entirely. I took the subway to congress circle, and i walked up Central Park West towards the historical society, and as i was walking up the street, out of the corner of my eye i saw a bronze plaque on the wall, on the wall of a rather august looking building. It wasnt the Second Church of christ scientists, its the spanishportuguese synagogue. And i read the plaque, and ive never seen that before. I normally try to keep my eyes open for historical things when im in new york, but i hadnt actually seen this. I was quite struck by this because, of course im quite familiar with the history of thi
