\"Dive<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Published in 1939, Robert Winston’s book Dive Bomber<\/a> takes us back to the exciting world of 1930’s US Navy aviation. It starts great \u2014 \u201cEighteen dollars an hour. That’s what they wanted for dual instruction at the flying school on Long Island. I had expected flying lessons to be expensive, but I didn’t think they were going to tear such a hole in my pay-check.\u201d \u2014 and keeps going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He attributes this list of ten don’ts to any good flight instructor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Don’t try to take off or land down-wind.<\/li>
  2. Don’t fool with the weather.<\/li>
  3. Don’t accept a \u2019plane for flight without careful inspection.<\/li>
  4. Don’t attempt any restricted maneuvers.<\/li>
  5. Don’t try to fly into the overcast before you get an instrument rating.<\/li>
  6. Don’t practice aerobatics without plenty of altitude.<\/li>
  7. Don’t try to be the boldest<\/em> flyer, if you want to be the oldest<\/em>.<\/li>
  8. Don’t stall!<\/li>
  9. Don’t stall!!<\/em><\/li>
  10. DON’T STALL!!!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Solid advice then in piston biplanes, which works just as well today in computerized jets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
