WW2 RAF pilot's training
In another thread of mine some doubt was cast over what RAF pilots did in their training in WW2. Obviously it varied a fair bit throughout the war but my impression was that someone going onto single engined fighters might do about 40 hours on the Tiger Moth then about 40-60 hours on a Harvard before being converted onto operational type.
Does this sound about right?
Because there were some people who reckoned they had 30 hours on a Tiger Moth before going straight onto Spitfires: surely this couldn't be right, could it?
