Default What did it take to get a ticket in 1946?

In 1945 I was a Second Lt, Army Air Corps Pilot in RTU (Replacement
(Fighter) Training Unit) and a CAA rep came around and all of us who
wanted a Private License were given a 10 question test and then given
a Temp Certificate and regular license came in several weeks later.

You can't beat that. I of course later worked up to Commercial and
Instructor SMEL and Instruments with no poblems..

Oh for the good old days )


Weren't you expected to fight a war in exchange for the easy license?



Two foreign concepts for you in one!

Three if oyu count the good old days.
