>Да нет, не так уж и много. Средний результат. по-моему в 400 часов был.
``the average German fighter pilot enjoyed a training period of 160 flying hours, completed in aircraft which sometimes bore very little resemblance to the fighters which he would later be required to fly'' (Suchenwirth, p 28). In contrast to the average training of a Luftwaffe pilot was the training the Allied and especially the American pilots received. Dick Bong, a USAAF trainee, says in a letter, ``I now have about 595 hours... I've got about 90 hours in the P-38 now [the aircraft he later flew in combat]'' (Bong p. 17). Dick Bong's skills later served him in becoming the high scoring American Ace. The highest scoring pilot in the world, Erich Hartmann, talks of the replacement pilots he received into his Luftwaffe squadron. ``I get young men coming to my squadron in Russia with less than sixty hours' total flying time, and only twenty hours of that in the Me-109. They have to fly combat with such slender training. This accounts for most of our Eastern Front fighter losses... They can barely get the Me-109 up and back safely as it is, without fighting'' (Tolvier p. 146). Heinz Knoke, a German fighter pilot on the Western front, gave his opinion of the Luftwaffe training system as, ``With the exception of a Flight Sergeant who came from the Eastern Front, where he had been awarded the Iron Cross, they are all young N.C.O.s without experience, posted to us directly upon completion of courses at training schools which are altogether inadequate for operational requirements.'' (Knoke 152). To supplement the less than desired training, many of the front line pilots were engaging in the training of new pilots while at the front. ``I myself take them up for about 120 training flights. Two veteran combat pilots also give them instruction in blind flying. In addition, they receive advanced instruction in bombing and gunnery''
Мансур, похоже ты не прав. В среднем 160 часов тренировки, а во второй половине войны и тех не было, только около 60, из них лишь 20 - на Ме-109 (см выше)
А вот Ричард Бонг налетал 595 часов.
