1940 - 1894.PDF
juv 4, xq;o A pleasing formation of Avro Ansons flying at about 14,000ft. These machines are robust and economical. as the "dashing football player" does not necessarily make a good fighter pilot. Horsemen and pianists are usually first rate. Flying instruction in the I.T.S. is generally similar for first groups of pupils, but the "singles" take no bombing. The advanced flying course continues with instruction in airmanship and emphasis is laid on night flying, both dual and solo. Successful landings must be made by floodlight and the landing lamps on an aircraft.Armament instruction is given both at the parent unit and at an armament training station. Future pilots ofsingle-engined aircraft practise air-to-ground and air-to-air firing with particular reference to the '' astern'' and"quarter" attacks. Those selected for drafting to bomber units practise the low level and diving methods, with andwithout bombs, in addition to the high level approach. Shadows and camouflage lenda bizarre air to this take-off picture of a flight of Audaxes. The Audax has been many yearsservice but is still giving a good account of itself. It is fast being replaced by monoplanes like the Master and Harvard.
