At the Army Air Forces School of Applied Tactics in Florida, carefully selected cadres undergo intensive training at a sprawling 8,000-square-mile war theatre where they learn everything from fighter interception and precision bombing to air support operations—all under conditions that mirror actual combat. Under the guidance of battle-hardened instructors, students train 12 to 18 hours daily in simulated raids, complete with mobile units, camouflaged bases, and surprise attacks designed to prepare them for the real theaters of war ahead.
