German Civilian to Military Pilot TransitionTraining 1914-1916

[Roadhog]

Dear Forum mates, How would the German military transition a civilian trained pilot who was certified under the Nationalflugspende program of 1912-1913 into the German Air service in say early 1916? I am certain that he would be required to deomonstrate his flying proficiency and navigational skills but what else?

What would decide on what type of an unit he would be assigned to? Would he received follow-on training and if so, where and for how long. I am sure this would differ from scout pilots to those destined to fly the recon planes.

Are there any written resources that would help me in this matter?

Thanks again for all of your help and concern in this matter and if I ever get this damn book finished it will truly be a group effort. VR, Scott Price
