Farmer's Nightmare
by
Keith Ferris
The young pilots of the 43rd Pursuit Squadron, Kelly Field, Texas, in their
P-12's, were a farmer's nightmare, practicing their landings time and again
in the middle of the local farmers' fields. Here, the instructor pilot in
plane #2 sits at the controls of his a/c as he awaits his two student pilots
begin their takeoff rolls, while up above another instructor with his
students prepares to 'cut' engines.
