Eddie :"I joined the Hat in the Ring Sqaudron in March so that makes it 8 months" Dan: "Quite a record, quite a record. Now I hate to say this but I have indisputable data from unimpeachable sources that you.... Eddie: " Can you speak in English, I'm not too good at French yet" Dan "Yes.., highly placed sources have informed me that you failed to take a physical exam when ordered to back on May 14 " Eddie "Yeah, I remember that.. That was the day I shot down five German planes and was promoted to Squadron Commander. In fact, I still am" Dan: " Still am what?" Eddie: "Squadron Commander" Dan: " I'm afraid I have bad news, Missing the physical removed you from flight status and you have been flying without a license for 6 months.
