402 TO: AIR MINISTRY, DEPT. Navigator —V.I.P In the aircraft of the future, flying not far short of sonic speeds, no one will have a more exacting job nor contribute more directly to success than the R.A.F. Navigator—so vital will be his knowledge of air navigation. It is to men of his intellectual and moral calibre that the Air Force looks for its future leaders. Navigators (and pilots) considered suitable are guaranteed commissions before they start their flying and officer training, subject to the satisfactory completion of the course.
