"Richard Eager" A Pilot's Story (Main Review) Second Edition 2024

Richard "Eager" Ernest Evans, USAAC in PT-3, at Love Field, Dallas, Texas, USA.

GO FOR IT
Time does seem to fly,
And the good times past
Seem seldom, if ever, to last.
But the Bard has suggested
That we must each seize our tide,
And while holding fast to the mast,
Enjoy our ride!

Richard Eager
