R. A. F. STUNTS
A recent Air Ministry bulletin announced that "after shooting down a raider, the Spitfire pilot was seen by observers on the ground to perform a Victory roll." The uninitiated reader noted this action with something akin to the sympathy felt for an over-exuberant lad who feels compelled to show his excited delight by turning somërshults. No particular value was attach- ed to the performance, and prob- ably some of those watching from the ground "wished he wouldn't." It seemed that such
"exuberance" was but a recklessi courting of possible disaster.
It is understandable that the defeat of the enemy releases a tremendous amount of pent up emotions which pilots must feel, but that is not the whole reason for the airmen's "stunts" as they return to their base. Aero- batics, to give these feats their proper name, are of importance in the war to-day. They are in- deed far from being a mere out- let for suppressed emotions, but are a definite part of an airman's technique in air manoeuvres. In the course of their intensive training the R.A.F. pilots have to learn to perform all the usual evolutions with almost mechani- cal precision long before they are considered sufliciently pro- ficient to be posted to opera- tional squadrons.
