HC Deb 08 October 1940 vol 365 c274W
Mr. Ammon

asked the Secretary of State for Air, in what manner do the services of a pilot-sergeant in charge of aircraft in action differ from that of a commissioned officer similarly engaged?

Captain Balfour

There is no practical difference. The hon. Member will however appreciate that the actual piloting of an aircraft in action, while admittedly the most important part, is still only part of the duties and responsibilities of officer and airman pilots.
