I just gave you 2 examples from his writing of badly flawed technical knowledge.
No you gave me your opinion. 'Being on the step" was something I was hearing from very experienced pilots when I was a very junior Metro F/O. A bit like this thread, one person's myth is another person's experience. As for the oil cap incident I have no idea whether its bollocks or not maybe someone else can comment but I have no reason to believe it wasn't as described. Someone who flew radial piston engine aircraft for so long I think would have picked up a thing or two about how they worked. I would suggest E K Gann has more technical knowledge than someone who flies a desk and has done a 3 day seminar on piston engine operation.
