Total training+missions flying hours

[Moriii]

Good morning everyone,

This is generic question, which could apply to all air forces : I wish to compare the average flying time in training vs. front-line of an "average" pilot / crew.

I know that an "average" pilot is not easy to define, but you see the idea. It is also clear that these numbers will depend on countries: that's precisely what I want to show.

Quick search on training gave the following data, which are kind of suprising:

Germany until 1942 (according to [url=https://www.ww2-weapons.com/pilot-training-of-the-luftwaffe/]this page):
fighter pilot = 150-200h
bomber pilot = 200-270h

USA (according to this page):
65h (primary) + 75h (basic/advanced) = 140h.
As war went on, this was cut from "3 months" to "9 weeks", which would mean down to ca. 105h.

UK (according to this other page)
pre-war: at least 150h
wartime : 200-320h

I could not find data on the typical time flying missions. It will naturally depend on casualty rates. Any idea?
