AE and FN were flying under commercial rules.  Neither was a 
ham.

The aircraft radiotelegraph endorsement required 25 wpm 
plain text, 20 wpm coded groups.  Same as the first class 
radiotelegraph if I remember right (plus the 1st required 
documented time in service).  The 2nd class was 20 wpm plain 
text, 16 coded groups.  Aircraft endorsement on 2nd class 
required the higher code speed.

    I am going by memory and must look this up. I have a 
good idea of where to look.  The requirements for commercial 
operators licenses were changed several times over the 
years. For instance, the c.1930 rules offered a Commercial 
Extra First Class license with a requirement for both 
Continental and American Morse. I'll see what I can find.
