Better cures now though. Well, yeah, but military pilot training was never known for its patience with anything but the quickest of studies. You didn't get very long to solo (and usually a PT17 at that) and the washout rate was high on any number of what may have seemed unreasonable criteria. You were going from primary training to what we'd consider aerobatics in fewer than half of the hours of flight instruction than we take to get a simple PP-ASEL. There just wasn't much room for patience with anyone who wasn't a quick study or who was taking time to 'get used to it.' There were enough guys who wanted to fly warplanes that they didn't need to be patient. So I don't think it's a good measure of reality. As they say, 'military intelligence' is an oxymoron. In avocational aviation we have a different situation.
