Started in a Thomas-Morse-Boeing MB-3 Scout,

Now, THAT'S impressive!

Dan, I think Swifty is pulling our legs. To say he began with a Scout
and then flew a Jenny is like a WW II type saying he flew P-40s and
then flew an AT-6.

Sorry, not pulling your leg.

I washed planes for gratis instruction at Roosevelt Field, NY. TM Scout
belonged to John Hay Whitney.
1st Solo was in Aeronca, 1940.

A P-40 pilot once returned to the Z.I. could easily be checked out in a T-6
for Flying pay profiency, happened all the time.
