The Nut.
From a story in Munsey's Magazine:
"My father was a clergyman in a college community; and that explains my home in a nutshell."
It doesn't. The father should have been a vegetarian in a Garden City community.
"Captain Roald Amundsen has qualified for his pilot's certificate at the military camp near Christiania. An officer of the Flying Corps first took him for a preliminary flight round the course, showing him what tests were required. Suddenly the elevator broke and the aeroplane fell nose downwards to the ground 40 feet below. Captain Amundsen escaped unhurt."—South Wales Echo.
So he got through the first test all right.
