Re: German fighter pilot training

The Carlsen/Meyer book "Die Flugzeugfüherausbildung der Deutschen Luftwaffe 1935 - 1945" has the following details for the time period 1942/43:
Jagdfliegervorschule: 25 flying hours in appr. two month (Ar 96 and similar types)
Jagdfliegerschule: 35 flying hours in appr. two month (older Bf 109 types) plus 15 hours with latest versions Bf 109F/G or Fw 190A.
Ergänzungsjagdgruppe: two to four weeks with latest versions Bf 109F/G or Fw 190A.

Due to weather conditions, fuel availability or other reasons the overall time could be much longer in some cases.
