Pilot Shortage in Armed Forces to Be Probed Next Year
The Senate Preparedness subcommittee led by Sen. John C. Stennis will open a formal investigation into pilot shortages next year. Officials warn the shortage is worsening with high losses in North Vietnam and Saigon counts showing hundreds of aircraft downed. McNamara approves boosted pilot training to add about 8,000 pilots next fiscal year, mostly for Army helicopters, though officials say the steps are not enough. The Navy contemplates longer or additional tours in Southeast Asia to meet demand.
