Re: Total training+missions flying hours

I believe you misread the source for the USA training hours. Basic/advanced are two separate phases of the training, each 75 hours for a total of 215 hours. I grew up in WWII and can remember the constant sound and vision of training aircraft above me. All of my cousins who trained during that time are now dead, so I cannot comment on the typical hours, but reducing calendar time may not have cut the flying hours significantly. The urgency meant more flying each day and possibly more days per week.
