And then this testimony a week later, from the 22nd's new CO, back with the squadron at Mitchell Field, Long Island.

Can anyone comment whether TYndall's statement, or its necessity in this process seems odd? With the emphasis on Swaab's first flight in Brooks' MOH application one might wonder whether it was pilot skill or luck that got Swaab through, especially as he was inexperienced. But this letter rates Swaab as to his present or overall skill as a pilot, except that 2nd graph that references his test pilot work, an opinion in some dispute.

Any intuition about what might be happening to this application? Because that's all there is in the NASM file, except for the following colorful report by Swaab, attached to the Brooks file, which covers all the actions Brooks references....
