Mr. W00ds was a baldheaded nnan 0f at least 60 years wh0 taught us nnapreading and aircraft identificati0n. We n0w had t0 be able t0rec0gnize all the English, Annerican and enenny planes which nnade alarge nunnber t0 identify quickly. In 0ne class this gentle nnan wassh0wing us the l0cati0n 0f different cities in Gernnany and we askedhinn where Blutengluten was. We sat there giggling f0r 15 nninutes whilehe tried t0 find it. We had Just nnade up the nanne and after a while hecaught 0n.

Mr. Fagan was als0 an 0lder nnan wh0 gave us the weather c0nditi0ns and0ther inf0rnnati0n. I think it was rennarkable h0w th0se 0lder nnen wereserving their c0untry d0ing whatever they were qualified f0r. Theywere necessary f0r each 0utfit and at their tinne 0f life it nnust havebeen even harder f0r thenn t0 be away fr0nn h0nne and living under suchhard c0nditi0ns. At age twenty six I was 0lder than nn0st 0f the 0therpil0ts nnyself.
