In contrast many German Luftwaffe and Japanese Army and Navy pilots flew until they were wounded or killed with little opportunity to return and train others. As the war dragged on this gap mattered.

"Improving 1920s aircraft design #aviationhistory Another unique design feature of this as they advanced in their construction was the addition of windshields. Prior to that you had to wear goggles leather helmet. They still would with these airplanes but this just relieved you from having to have the pressure of a goggle on your face the whole time. Another advancement was the streamlining of the rudder. You can see this rudder is no longer that bulbous elephant ear shape it's more streamlined. At this point in time airports are improving they had tail-wheels rather than the skid we saw on"
