Gentlemen,

any of you knows the training cycle for USAAF bombers' pilots
(especially for night flight) in WWII ?

I'm interested in the average time needed to become combat-ready for
daylight operations and, especially, night ones.

References to book and/or websites appreciated.

Regards,

I am not sure just what you are looking for.
In flight school we flew both day and night missions. Whan we graduated we were
deemed fit for combat and sent overseas to join our combat units. End of
story.Is there something specific you are looking for ?
