Gaining an RAF Pilot's brevet in World War II.....

[Paul J 349]

It's a winding tale, told by a 90-year-old RAF veteran, of the experiences, the difficulties, the fun and the long challenge to become a fighter pilot in 1943... a great story, told first-hand in an amusing and anecdotal fashion in a 243-page series of forum posts. A great read.

 

Enjoy!

I'm a couple of forum pages in.  Just wanted to say thanks for the pointer.  Great stuff!

Isn't it great! I'm only a third of the way through, and thought it "very instructional" - particularly their nav course and the old beam approach system. Brave souls!
