RNAS aviatorBroad learned to fly in 1915 at the Hall School of Flying at Hendon.[1] Flying a single-engined Caudron he received Pilot Certificate No. 2,044,[1] after which he joined the Royal Naval Air Service at Eastchurch.[1] After training he was posted to operations with No. 3 Squadron RNAS based at Dunkirk, France flying the Sopwith Pup. Broad was wounded in the neck during one World War I mission escorting bombers and returned to England to become an Instructor whilst he recuperated.[9] For his second operational tour Broad was seconded to No. 46 Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps flying the Sopwith Camel.[1] At the end of the Great War, Broad became an instructor at the Fighter Pilots Flying School, Fairlop.[1] Test and sports pilotAfter leaving the RNAS Broad flew joy-riding aircraft for Avro and in 1920 he flew joy-riding flights in the United States with two Avro seaplanes.[1] In 1921 he came first in the Aerial Derby air race around London, flying a Sopwith Camel.[1] This gained the attention of De Havilland which took him on in October 1921 as chief test pilot at Stag Lane.[1] Given the scarcity of test pilots he was tasked with flying a wide variety of De Havilland aircraft as well as Handley Pages and Glosters.[1] At the 1925 Schneider Trophy Broad was the sole British entrant following a number of pre-race accidents.[16] Flying a Gloster III seaplane he came second to an American Army test pilot called James Doolittle.[16] At de Havilland, Broad undertook many demonstration flights and entered air races and competitions to show off De Havilland aircraft.[1] In 1926 he won the King's Cup Air Race in a De Havilland Moth.[1] In 1928 he took part in the International Light Aircraft Contest in France, finishing in 3rd place. The next year, he came second in the F.A.I. Tourist Plane Contest – Challenge International de Tourisme 1929. In the subsequent Challenge International de Tourisme 1930, he was 8th overall (he completed the rally section in 1st place).[1] In 1935 he left De Havilland to work with the Royal Aircraft Establishment as a test pilot. He published a book in 1939 about flying – Flying wisdom; a book of practical experiences and their lessons. In 1940 he returned to industry as chief production test pilot for Hawker Aircraft.[1] He was responsible for test flying the Hawker single-seat fighter planes as they left the production line. He was appointed MBE in 1944 for his work as a Hawker test pilot. Captain Broad died in 1975 at home in Basingstoke; during his career, he completed 7,500 flying hours in 200 different types of aircraft.[1] Sentimental lifeBroad appears to have had an affair with Beryl Markham, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic from east to west; he was named by Mansfield Markham as a co-respondent in his 1937 divorce from Beryl.[2] See also
