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 ?


So, bomber pilots were ready to fly day and night messions as part of
the normal training ?
Hmm... I thought the night training was not deemed strictly necessary
since USAAF made only day-bombing.

Anyway, how long did the training last before being sent overseas ?
Moreover, any website/book to investigate the matter further ?

Thanks in advance,
