Per Ardua: Training an RAF Phantom Crew

摘要

"Being an RAF officer was not a job; it was a way of life" So starts David Gledhill's account of his long journey from the Air Training Corps and an RAF-sponsored private pilot's licence, through the RAF aircrew selection procedure and, eventually, to qualify as a navigator and be posted to a frontline Phantom squadron. Coauthor Philip 'Keebs' Keeble pursued a slightly different path to becoming a Phantom pilot, via the Combined Cadet Force and the officer and aircrew selection board at RAF Biggin Hill.
