These are the notes that Sykes compiled when working as an instructor on the Camel. I scanned them for a good friend of mine, and thought I'd share them with all the other jockeys out there. Makes for some very interesting reading. Source is, Camel - King of Combat by Chaz Bowyer.

Thanks for that, Feathered_IV...I've wanted to add that book to my collection and now I must find a copy. That's a fascinating read!

cheers

Thanks very much for posting this. I love reading the accounts of people who actually flew these planes. It allows me to immerse myself in the experience all the more.

Regards,

WB.

Cool, short essential to the point first-hand description smile

Interesting how he says "full left rudder for right turns" and how he prefers the left turn at low altitude to gain height (or not to loose some by mistake).

S! smile
