20 year old reference material?

Was there a way, immediately after WWII, for military pilots to get
themselves into the civilian license data base with a one-time paperwork
application, or something similar - otherwise it lapsed?

Can GB 43 get current with a medical and a BFR?

Yes, and still is; it's called the military compentcy test. Short written
test covering only the areas in the FAR's that are different from military
regs. You get the certificate you would be qualified for.

This leads to interesting situations; one guy I know did this (and flies
for a major airline), but now he's taking lessons at the flight school
because he doesn't have a single-engine rating... he was Air Force and
flew T-37 and T-38, then B-52's. Was somewhat amused by this...
