Will Not be Rash
That age and point of view are vital factors in assessing the difference between danger and safety is brought home in a letter received by an Auckland mother from her son, who is now training in the Fleet Air Arm in England. Prior to leaving New Zealand the boy had done no flying other than as a passenger in a commercial machine. In the few weeks since he has been in England he has learned to loop, spin, roll and do most other aerobatics, and now he is going on to dive-bombing. “But,” he told his mother in a recent letter, “don’t get worried about this. I won’t do anything rash or which is not safe.”
