The Evolution of Instrument Flying in the U.S. Army.

Abstract

This study describes how the U.S. Army developed training programs and management systems for instrument flying between 1981 and 1948. The study addresses the factors, such as attitudes, people and events that influenced the Army's development of an instrument capability during this period. This period of development is significant because the practices the Army evolved are still used by the Air Force today. (Author)
