What can one say? How this dry article misses a great deal about Capital airlines.
It was a rather unusual institution. One of the senior captains "Ham" Wilson could have stairs rolled up to the rear door of a Viscount as the passengers loaded through the air stairs at the front. Once the passengers were seated Ham would tuck a large book under his arm, put on dark glasses, and use his white cane to tap his way to the cockpit. On the book, in big gold letters, "How to Fly."
And what would happen when the outraged passenger finally got through to Carmichael?
Nothing much, except he would be reminded it was April 1st.
