Played billiards & golf.
[Janvier 13 Lundi]
Went solo after 9 h 40 in dual with instructor. flew well as I have been fit to go off for some time. I was inclined to look for the chap in front after flying 480 hours with a pilot. Had absolute confidence in self but not so much in my engine.
At 400 ft engine cut out over rough country put up great fight for a clear patch missed by 10 ft crashed badly, machine total wreck, belt breaking round me. My most marvellous escape in the war.
Went up again immediately & got on well, confidence naturally varies, but I can beat such things with a small effort.
I am watched over by a guardian angel
