A comprehensive study of the training aircraft used to transition
the United States military into the jet age. At the end of World
War II, high-performance jets with unfamiliar operating
characteristics were replacing propeller-driven airplanes. As
accident rates soared, the Air Force and Navy recognized the need
to develop new trainers to introduce fledgling as well as
experienced pilots to jet flight. The first step occurred in 1948,
when a two-seat jet trainer, the T-33, was developed with private
funds. It was welcomed by the Air Force and subsequently the Navy,
allowing both services to start building modern air arms. Over time
other new trainers were developed to serve specific needs while
innovations, such as high fidelity simulators, accelerated the
process, reduced costs, and increased safety. The evolution
continues today with the goal of producing high-quality newly
winged aviators for assignment to operational squadrons.
