nate in my assignment of an in.
structor. Sergeant Winston. held
the record for flying time in the
army with about thirty-three hum
dred hours. He was an excellent
pilot, and knew how to instrucL il

had some difficulty in flying with
my right hand. The wartime ships
which / was accustomed to were
built to be flown with the left, but
after the Armistice it was decided
to change the throttle over to the
other side. on the theory that the
right hand was the natural one to
fly with. After three landings. how
ever. Sergeant Winston got out Of
the cockpit and told me to fly
around for 80 minutes and try to
get used to right-handed plotting.
When we were not flying we
were gathered around the stage
house watching the progress of
our classmates and learning how
to turn the propeIlers over in start
ing the engine without placing
ourselves in a position to be struck
in case it kicked backwards. To a
pilot. the propeller is the most dan
gerous part of his plane, and is a
constant source of worry to him
when his ship is on the ground
among people who vie with each
other in seeing how close they can
stand to the whirring blade while
the motor is still running. Then
there is usually a contest to see
who can be first to move it up and
down after it stops turning over.
A cadet is usually given about
ten hours of dual instruction re-
fore ne is allowed to solo. The
instructor first takes him up and
after flying around for a few min
utes, allows the student to take
hold of the controls to get an APP
proximate idea Of the amount and
direction of movement necessary
for gentle banks and turns. Then
the instructor throws his hands up
in the air in full view of the stu
dent-the signal that he has turned
over entire control of the ship.
The cadet is given the opportunity
suddenly to realize that flying is
not simple operation Of pulling
the stick back to go UP and push
ing 1t forward to come down, but
that an instructive and synchra'
niZed movement of all controls is
necessary even to keep the ma
chine in level flight.
