MPN11,

I couldn't read your #4721 without a pang. The USAAC "washed out" 40% of the British cadets they took in on the Arnold Scheme. I am absolutely sure that on a RAF EFTS almost all of these people would have gone on to become successful Squadron pilots - and how we needed them at that stage of the war !

So you bounced around a bit in a TM. Who didn't ? (I recall my lamentable performance in one, flying it for the first time, having just been converted onto the Meteor).

Across the years, you must still feel it. I can only commiserate, sir.

Danny.
