Softening of PW Training Course Eyed By Air Force Leader
At Stead Air Force Base Nevada Air Force leaders consider softening the prisoner of war training. Col Burton E McKenzie says an interim change may limit the browbeating interrogation phase to professional instructors only. He notes volunteers would not be used for interrogation and the aim is to teach pilots what to do not to do if captured. The plan aims to address public concern while stressing the training as life insurance for crews.
