Flight Training Period

Cadet training through commissioning era

This phase page focuses on Bob's early pilot development period and is intentionally scoped to one discrete career segment. The full-career cumulative view remains on flight_records.html.

Next planned phase pages: Canal Zone assignment and WWII combat span.

Note: early-era training records contain known reconciliation gaps between month-summary totals and fully extracted day-line entries.
