C. That there are future requirements for a large number
of ferry pilots, both within the theater and within the United States.
d. That qualified women could well be used for this
purpose, thereby relieving male pilots for more rigid combat and similar
duty.
e. That training of women pilots could be carried on in
the States in all types of airplanes which they might be called upon to
ferry. Weather and the resulting small number of good flying days,
the short periods of daylight during the winter, the many local
restrictions on flying, would all operate to restrict the successful
training in this theater.
6. If reports are true that sources for competent combat
pilots are not producing the recuired number, it is recommended that
consideration be given to training women pilots in the United States
for non-combat use, indicated in Paragraph 5 above, in the Army Air
Forces.
7. That if the above recommendation receives favorable con-
sideration, it is recommended that Miss Jacqueline Cochrane be given
consideration for a key position in this feminine Command.
