Barnstorming Days
Reeve headed to Florida, then to Beaumont, Texas where he joined a pair of barnstormers - "Hazard" and "Maverick". In exchange for two months' work at the airfield, Bob got three hours flying instruction (which was called five) and soloed. When the Air Commerce Act of 1926 came into force, he got one of the first Engine and Aircraft Mechanic's Licenses and his Commercial Pilot's License. Reeve joined the Army Air Corps at March Field, but was discharged after a short time.
