They Called Me LT by Ronald J. Nielsen __________________________________

In July of 1915, just two months after Italy joined the Allied Forces during World War I, Lieutenant Camillo Viglino, age 23, volunteered for flight training in the Italian Air Force. His account of the training provides the freshness and intimacy of an on-the-scene, firsthand report. It reveals an idealistic young man with an unbridled passion for flying and a patriotic zeal to fight for his country -- a young man daring to go up in the fragile flying machines of those early years of aviation, routinely placing himself at the mercy of the weather, cantankerous engines, and unreliable instruments. The discomforts of flying an open-cockpit 1914 Maurice Farman, the frequent crashes at the flight school, and the constant occurrences of pilots getting lost are all related with a nonchalant bravado befitting a 20-year-old. Viglino follows his diary-like accounts with a copy of a letter from a cousin at the front describing an air raid on Adelsberg, Austria. This book was written in Italian and originally published in Italy in 1934. It was translated into English by his two children, Camilla Viglino Hurwitz and Victor Viglino.

Treat this game no different than a gunfight. When you step up to the table, shoot like you have never shot before. Look for your opponents' weakness; leave nothing for them to shot. Keep your thought until you have won the game, stay focused, stay calm. Never secondguess yourself, ever. Walk around the table and pull your thoughts back; there are no shots too hard for you to make. Just shoot them. If your shots are not measuring up, get practicing golf on a six-by-twelve table. This stabilizes your stroke, sharpens your view to the ball, and teaches proper weight per roll. Also best table to practice masseacute; shots. Remember in this game, winning is everything. I believe this book has taken me to the top-dog position in my league because I had to write it to get my own game back to the level of play I am at now. Just reviewing what I know has helped enormously. Don't take your game for granted, practice, challenge.
