This episode (published on the 77th anniversary of The Silver King's first bombing mission: ordnance depot, Homburg, Germany) is Part Four of Stanley's Letters, "Dearest Ones," from pilot school in Lakeland, Florida.  He's counting the days to complete his training and take the ten-hour check ride to determine his readiness to be an Air Corps pilot.   The Silver King, 19, is confident and flies his first solo on April 22, one day before he turns twenty.
