Extract

The First time I ever saw an aeroplane was at the age of ten when the whole school was rushed out in the middle of class to see two small specks in the sky which I realised later were two Curtiss JN4 aircraft with OX5 engines, which were to be used for pilot training in Canada.

My first real interest in aviation was inspired by a lecture by the late Wing Commander Stedman, RCAF. This led to my being a provisional pilot officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force taking flying training.
