Basic Military Flight Training

Daddy's first entry into his military log book was on July 6, 1942.  There are 'rubber stamps' out in the log book which tell me the instructors did not want to have to hand-write a lot in their student's log books.  U.S. Army Air Forces Primary Training for Bill Watt took place in Chickasha, Oklahoma.  His first trainer was a Fairchild PT-19A, like the one pictured to the left.  His log books shows flights taking place nearly every day in July after the 7th with over 23 hours for the month.  On through mid-September in the BT-13A accumulating 60 hours.
