Pilot's licences by country

The certificate of competency and licence the Paris convention of 1919 required of every pilot and navigator of an aircraft, with the medical examinations recorded on it.

Bearer prints it for 4 offices: France, International type, United Kingdom, United States. Each is read off a document of the time or reconstructed on the country's law, and says which.

Bearer makes an investigator's papers for Call of Cthulhu and any 1920s or 1930s tabletop campaign: the passport a consul would have filled in, with the visas and frontier stamps a campaign leaves in it, and the permits, certificates and tickets of the period, to print or to share.
