For the Ancients, war was already the mother of all things. It is to exterminate that we innovate, that we move from flint to bronze then to iron, from the bow to the arquebus. It took millennia. The blacksmiths forgot that they had succeeded the stonemasons. The species discovered late that it has a history and it is only recently that those who make it know that they are fulfilling it. For this to happen, it was necessary for the future to accelerate its rhythm, for significant changes to appear in the narrow fringe formed, between the innumerable people of the dead and the future, which awaits its time, in limbo, the three generations of the living.
Pierre Bergounioux presents this breathtaking text, a philosophy of war and time, with these few words:
"Universally known as the Flying Fortress , the Boeing B-17 was the main instrument of the strategic bombing that ruined Germany. It carried ten men over distances of more than three thousand kilometers, in the uncharted winter of high altitudes battered by enemy fire. Their collective adventure has not been recounted. Its possible interpreters did not survive. From an image of a B-17 in distress, we have dwelt on the chances of the story, the always uncertain connection between the event and its relation."
