Early training: what the sources establish
1929 newspaper report

Historical research and a 1921 notice
Reported instructor: Jacyntho Ferro
Historian José Cairus also identifies Jacyntho Ferro as one of Carlos’s instructors. A 1921 advance notice names Oscar Gracie as Ferro’s student; it does not establish that Oscar was Carlos.
