Sure, [Larry] was my son. But I think to him [the pilots killed] were all my sons. And I guess they were, I guess they wereJoe Keller I think that Arthur Miller wrote four great plays: The Death of a Salesman, The Crucible, After the Fall, and this play, All My Sons. This one takes place in 1947, right after the war.

perfect
