"My background and experience had too many serious limitations – no night flying, Jet flying, formation flying, gunnery, advanced aerobatics, instrument flying and familiarity with radio equipment – for me to be considered a fully competent pilot." from Spitfire Girl
Although Jackie had 3000 hours of flying due to the ATA many more than the male pilots on her course she did have to to learn the above she was keen to do night flying see her description on the WRAFVR story page.
Candy wrote to the RAF Headquarters to get the documenation of the Despatches for the proof and dates when she was awarded her full RAF wings as people still seemed to disbelieve even today that Jackie had gained her RAF wings see docs here.
