Senate Subcommittee to Probe Pilot Shortage
The Senate Preparedness Subcommittee will launch a detailed investigation next year into pilot shortages in the armed services. Chairman John C. Stennis leads a panel weighing a special hearing or integrating the probe into its readiness review. Officials cite a severe shortage and rising losses in Vietnam, with 300 planes shot down as of December 14.
