I WAS a second lieutenant in the Army, learning to fly light aircraft at Fort Sill, Okla. One day I made a perfectly smooth landing. At last!

To my horror, when I stepped on the brakes nothing at all happened. "What'll I do now?" I shouted to my instructor. "The brakes failed!"

"I'm not surprised," he growled. "We're still two feet in the air."

It's not unknown, but it is a rare event among learners.
