Orwell & Nineteen Eighty-Four

[s~Z]

>>>Seems I recall something about airplanes being used as
bombs by evildoers who hate our way of life, back in
the fall of 2001 I think it was. <<<

Which is not mentioned by Pynchon. He mentions bombs falling, not planes
used as bombs. Why change it when you also recall scores of examples of
bombs falling and he mentions Churchill as a specific direct example in the
same paragraph?
