Re: Tall RAF pilots?
Maybe this is a more generalised description of a relaxation in the height percentiles given the need to accept more and more pilots? Just a suggestion, not informed in any way. I'd have thought that the prewar university reserve pilots would be coming from much the same social strata as the regulars, and the better fed/fitter strata anyway.
However, it's not something I've seen mentioned anywhere else, and given the low profile a more general need for head room would seem sufficient.
