Rise in air accidents tied to training future pilots
The War Department explained that lower average pilot experience among Army Air Corps trainees raises accident rates due to larger trainee numbers and training risks. It noted 1940 flight hours far exceeded 1921 but with a lower accident percentage, urged continued morale and warned of more accidents as flying hours rise. In Hartford a separate note cites Guy Hilton saying beer improves a lamb's stock show performance at a tavern.
