My Dad started off after WWII as a aircraft mechanic, had to know it all and be body man, serviceman, engine tech as well pilot the machines after repairs to validate it worked. Tough days in the 50's Aviation was changing much as our business has changed and continues to. Jets from piston power, pressurized cabins, high altitude flight and loads of electronic stuff, he got to where could not cope so entered the aircraft building business, stayed there until age 67. Passed at 82, still remember and refer to the simple basics lessons he taught me.
