"... It might be imagined that signs of hyper-nervousness when facing medical examiners, augur ill foran ability to withstand nervous strain. This is very farfrom being the case, and many examples can be given ofexcellent pilots who have been of a hypernervous type.In one instance a pilot, whose war record could only bedescribed as first class, inevitably fainted when sitting inthe dentist’s chair. Many of the pilots who won VictoriaCrosses in the war were of a quiet sensitive type, and somewere distinctly hypernervous.... If a candidate, despitea fast pulse, a high pulse pressure, and other signs of’ nervousness,’ can yet show a quiet demeanour, and anability to think quickly, and answer readily, when he faceshis medical examiner, it speaks well for his chances ofmaking good."-Group-Captain A. F. RooK, .7.-B. nav.
