Did Eric Sloane have a pilots licence?
This issue has been a source of speculation for years. Without question, Eric flew with many pilots including Wiley Post. He makes mention in several books of his being taught to fly. However, I have never uncovered evidence that he actually obtained a pilot’s license. I do know that he never owned a plane, and two of his wives confirmed that at the time of their respective marriages, Eric did not posses a pilot’s licence.
