My memoirs

You are right. The popular idea that a pilot must have had a university training, be 7 feet tall,3 feet wide, with a big handlebar moustache was rubbish. As I said in my earlier memoirs...I failed my P.hd at St Saviors Elementry School. Also I did not 'Solo' within the 10 hours, but still managed to qualify as an A1 Instructor and in Singapore had the privilege to certify civilian instructors.
Myths blown!
