Pilot Shortage Probe Ordered by Senate Subcommittee
The Senate Preparedness subcommittee led by Sen. John C. Stennis will study armed forces pilot shortages next year. Officials say the shortage is severe and worsening with about 300 planes shot down in North Vietnam by Dec. 14 and 150+ losses in 1965. Defense Secretary McNamara approves training boosts across services to add about 8,000 pilots next year.
