Thanks for your encouragement Danny. As one who grew up on a rich diet of post war biographies I have been brainwashed to believe that those who were chopped from pilot training were not considered good enough. However, after long chats with Frank, I suspect that he was moved because he was considered good enough to respond to fast track training as a navigator on two seat aircraft. I should add that this is not necessarily Frank's view. He is typically disparaging about his own skills but, looking at some of his training material (e.g. Post 7919), I am pretty sure that, at that time, they needed the best for that role. As you will see in the next episode, one of his earliest flights was from the UK to Gibraltar and then onto Egypt avoiding enemy or neutral territory. Some test for a 19 year old fresh out of training.
