Reviews
This excellent, highly-researched and very comprehensive book about US military flight trainers since 1945 deals with a subject that has not been well-covered. This book tells the interesting and sometimes complex story of how military flight training evolved since World War II and how the training aircraft were developed, selected, and used to produce our military aviators of today. It is a superb book, and I highly recommend it for all aviation enthusiasts.CDR Doug Siegfried, Tailhook Association historian

Synopsis
A comprehensive study of the training aircraft used to transition the United States military into the jet age. At the end of World War II, high-performance jets with unfamiliar operating characteristics were replacing propeller-driven airplanes. As accident rates soared, the Air Force and Navy recognized the need to develop new trainers to introduce fledgling as well as experienced pilots to jet flight. The first step occurred in 1948, when a two-seat jet trainer, the T-33, was developed with private funds. It was welcomed by the Air Force and subsequently the Navy, allowing both services to start building modern air arms. Over time other new trainers were developed to serve specific needs while innovations, such as high fidelity simulators, accelerated the process, reduced costs, and increased safety. The evolution continues today with the goal of producing high-quality newly winged aviators for assignment to operational squadrons.
