I purchased Sergeant Pilot some time ago however I still remember the book very well. Another fine book from amazon and sold me a real page turner for my KINDLE. I enjoyed the book because it reminded a few things I experienced in my life. Our future pilot had to leave school to get a job and help support the family. During his working days he took time to go to a town near and was lucky enough to get a job learning aircraft mechanics. He also talked his new employer (an English flying club) to give him flying lessons at a reduced cost and pay for the lessons on time and deduct the cost from his pay check.After his flying training he got his pilot license and finished his training from the flying club and received his aircraft mechanics license. His next move was to join the R.A.F. England was going to war Germany and needed Fighter Pilots. They had their man, he was one of the first Ace  Pilots received several medals, received one medal from the King of England. All this as a  Pilot Sergeant. He was shot down in France ( Occupied) He got to Spain and finally back to England.After he got back to England he received a 60 day leave and returned after the leave to a commission as an Officer Pilot. All of this was before America joined in the war.  COL. DEVERE WOODS  Ret,
