Review: An important contribution to WW II history books. - A good history of a little-known, discussed, or studied aspect of pilot training before World War II. The account is rather dry and academic but still an important contribution to the history of the war. Reviewed by Peter Stekel, author of, Final Flight: The Mystery of a WWII Plane Crash and the Frozen Airmen in the High Sierra.
Review: Well done - A great work and part of my aviation library. Pisano uses Pat Strickland's Putt-Putt Air Force, but provides the scholarly documentation to take it to the next level. A must-have book for anyone interested in WW II aviation, because the program Pisano writes about is the key behind the airpower the US employed during the war.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An important contribution to WW II history books.
*by F***T on November 19, 2014*

A good history of a little-known, discussed, or studied aspect of pilot training before World War II. The account is rather dry and academic but still an important contribution to the history of the war. Reviewed by Peter Stekel, author of, Final Flight: The Mystery of a WWII Plane Crash and the Frozen Airmen in the High Sierra.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well done
*by R***E on September 1, 2015*

A great work and part of my aviation library. Pisano uses Pat Strickland's Putt-Putt Air Force, but provides the scholarly documentation to take it to the next level. A must-have book for anyone interested in WW II aviation, because the program Pisano writes about is the key behind the airpower the US employed during the war.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Documentation with no Story
*by B***Y on August 29, 2013*

I was hoping this book would have included statements by pilots, not just facts about how they got into the air by legislation.
