У них до летных курсов еще курсы для кандидатов оканчивали.

In February 1941 the War Department authorized establishment of three Air Corps replacement training centers for classification and preflight instruction of candidates for pilot, bombardier, and navigator training. The official designation of "preflight school" was authorized on 30 April 1942, and the term replacement training center was dropped.

Длительность сначала 4 недели, с марта 1942 г. 9 недель, затем с мая 1944 - 10 недель.

Four weeks was the standard length of training at the replacement training centers until March 1942, when a nine-week course was instituted.
Final developments of the course were incorporated in a revision of May 1944, when the period of training was extended to ten weeks.
