Flying Cadet Pilot Training Program (USAAS)

[edit]

From 1907 to 1947, the army ran this program to train pilots for theUS Army Air Service (1918-1926),US Army Air Corps (1926–1941), andUS Army Air Force (1941–1947). During America's involvement inWorld War II (1942–1945), the rank of flight cadet was changed to that of aviation cadet, often abbreviated as A/C, and the program name was changed to the "Aviation Cadet Training Program".

From 1947, this program was run by the now separateUS Air Force. The pilot cadet program ended in 1961, but the navigator cadet program ended in 1965.
