AT6.over Albany GA. Dec. 29th. 1941
Thanks a million , Andy. It was the great idea of the U.S. Army Air Corps., as it was then, to relax their discipline a bit just before you got those coveted silver wings and let you go up and they would formate on you and the chap in the back would take photographs. That way they would have a record of their pupils and you would have a picture which I think is one of the finest I have ever seen... That is me piloting the plane and my besr friend ,'Wally' Herbert in the back seat. I met him after the war so we were both very lucky as he was in Bomber Command as well. I think that speaks a lot for the tuition and I am eternally grateful for it. Reg.
The picture was taken on the 29th. Dec. 1941 and I have put in my Log Book . W.R. Herbert in back , my 200th. hour. photo by Lt.Rimmer U.S.A.A.C. (My Instructor).
