   The term came LONG before James Bond..
   Goes back to WW One and the Gosport School of
   Flying... Have you ever heard of the Gosport
   Tube?   along with Tarmac...
   I spent many hours questioning Freddie Raynham..
   I believe his British pilot license was 12 or 14.
   He said they did not keep log books for the first
   15 years he flew and he logged about 35,000 hours
   after that... He also had lost of interesting 8 mm
   movies... from all over the world..
