Слышали звон, да не знаете где он
В связи с острой нехваткой пилотов пытались привлечь тех, кто умел уже летать. Увы для вас, но ВВС быстро отказались от подобного "подарка"

At a later point in the war, in an effort to trim more time from the training program, the Army Air Force took graduates from the Civilian Pilot Training Program (CPTP) and advanced them to basic flight training, skipping primary. The CPTP was a New Deal program that was intended to boost the light aviation industry by encouraging young men and women to learn to fly. As an aviation cadet and a future general, David V. Miller was part of that experiment. In an interview in 1974, he stated that he believed that it had been a mistake for his class to skip primary training, and he also thought this had been the reason why 41 of his class of 52 had been washed out of basic flight training.
