CHURCHILL, Winston S. Typed letter signed ("Winston S. Churchill"), to James Crichton-Browne (1840-1938), Chartwell, 3 June 1935. 1 page, 4to, small closed tears at lower edge.
CHURCHILL THANKS THE FAMED PSYCHIATRIST for having instructed Hatchard's book shop in Picadilly to send him "a copy of this very interesting book on flying..." The title is not specified. Churchill adds a warm autograph postscript: "Corresponding with you reminds me of a vy ancient controversy about Peat Reek [Scottish moonshine] and Harris Tweed wh I once had with a celebrated but anonymous 'J.C.B.'" Churchill was an enthusiastic but unskilled aviator. He took a few pilot lessons, but when one lesson ended with a near-fatal crash landing his wife Clementine permanently banned him from the cockpit.
