My father, whom they discovered had a heart condition right after he completed
flight school and kept in anyway, wound up being a flight instructor for B-24
during WWII.
Short, like me, he said he needed cushions behind his back while seated in the
pilots seat to allow him to reach the pedals!
He said he was a "two cushion man"...apparently lots of other short B-24 pilots
needed seat cushions as well.
