WW2 pilot training
There is a suggestion on Quora that during WW2 some pilots were sent up in Spitfires with only 12 hours flying time. I'm sure the minimum was nearer 300, possibly 12 hours is the amount of Spitfire time some pilots had before being sent on operations. Or just possibly the amount of training already experienced pilots from Poland USA etc might have to get them used to UK aircraft before flying a single seat fighter.
Anyone know the real minimum?
