[Mark in Rochester]

Don't forget amateur pilots with scanty training.

Although needing to meet numerous training objectives, the timetable provided by
USAAF headquarters provided the instructors with only two weeks per class. Originally

trained glider pilots resulted in the training time being compressed by a full two weeks.
Instructors did not drop any curriculum from their training, but rather condensed their
already planned lessons in the given timeframe.
