Major C. C. Turner was the first professional journalist to learn to fly, and he qualified for the Royal Aero Club Certificate in April 1911 (he is the holder of certificate number 70) Previously, in 1907-8, he had ballooning experience and took part in notable balloon voyages. In the 1914-18 first World War he was engaged chiefly in instructional duties. at one time in free ballooning and observation balloons, and at another in aeroplanes. He was a Lieutenant commander, R.N.V.R., attached Royal Naval Air Service, when the flying services were combined as the Royal Air Force, and in that service he held the rank of Major, the equivalent of Lieutenant Commander. Some time after the War new R.A.F. rank designations were introduced. This is the story of thirty six years of flying in some eighty types of aircraft. Ref JJJ 1.
