Revised Program Aimed at Training of Air Corps Pilots
The Army Air Forces Training Command announces a revised training plan effective March 14 widening fighter pilot training by nine weeks and bomber training by five weeks. The change restores the ten week per phase system with a new five week Fighter transition course for fighters, plus adjustments to existing preflight and combat instruction. The plan aims to produce more proficient pilots, ease mental strain, and gradually benefit combat units through late 1945. It also notes discontinuation of some two engine transition schools for B-25s, and pilots may be prepared for OTU without extra transition in some cases.

In Washington the Senate aviation subcommittee, led by Bennett Champ Clark, weighs postwar air policy and flags the risk of foreign governments pitting American firms against each other on routes.
