Thank you to my friend, Radha Ray, for being a great support to me throughout the course of this project. From long walks in London during our summer study abroad at the University of Cambridge to late nights in our dorm, you patiently listened to my long ramblings about pilots and war literature. Choosing to be friends with and room with a honors thesis student is a hard commitment, but thank you for making it a wonderful one. And, although perhaps not directly my friends, thank you to BTS for providing me with hours of inspiring, thought-provoking music. From early mornings in the archives to evenings dedicated to writing twenty-page chapters, you were with me every step of the way with words of understanding and unwavering support. Most importantly, I would also like to thank my parents, Greg and Cynthia Whitlock, for supporting my academic pursuits and love of history. From a young age, you encouraged me to learn and explore the world around me, eventually supporting me to England. When I first said I wanted to write an honors thesis freshman year, I received nothing but full support. Although college is an exciting time, it is also a period of uncertainty. When I may have been questioning my choices or my future, you were always there with love and advice. Even though they may have seemed silly at the time, thank you for supporting my dreams. I have always wanted to make you proud and show how thankful I have been for all you have done for me in my life. Now I have something to show for all of your love and support.
