Interesting. Thank you. Quite a difference between the Brit and US
procedure
It is as though the Brits did it one at a time while we used a production
kind
of procedure.


You have to remember Frank Harbord joined pre-war. Once the war began
the system became much more of a production line and the RAF took
over the initial training scheme. He mentions that his was the last class
taught in this way.

Keith,
I would be interested to know the course of academic study in the RAF. What
math and physics? How high the washout rate (,more or less)before even getting
to flying school? How high the washout rate for physical reasons? Any idea?.
