Ian B-B (#99),
Yes, we're agreed: 20% it was. The $64 question still hangs in the air (what did the USAAC learn from the comparison ?) Could the fact be that all their output was considered fit only for Air Transport Command, where they would "learn on the job" as second dickies before moving over to the LH seat - and doing the job that ATA did for us ?
Whereas the output from the USAAC (200-hr) Course would produce the "real" combat pilots they needed ?
But we could see no difference at all between our "Arnold" or BFTS trained boys at OTU stage ???
"Curiouser and Curiouser", said Alice.
