13. The -2 (Stormavic) - P ci? Plane The IL -2 is an .armored plane used
for close quarter ca. . The armor has been improgred by reinforcing the top and sides
of the cupola of the cabin and by applying a very thin armor r plate in the posterior
part of the armored windshield. In the latest models, the external part of the wings,
which was previously constructed in metal, is now constructed in wood. In sot. models
a gunner seat has been placed at the back of the pilot's seat with a 12.7 calibre
machine gun. other models of this type have two 37 nm guns in place of the 20 or 23 n.

22. The present pilots of the "ug,oslav air' force. core largely frora the Croatian
air force, the German air force.. and the air force of King PE'T1!. Their morals is
very low because they do not enjoy the trust of the political coi;x issare who watch
then very closely. The same cannot be said of the young pilots who have been educated
under the new TITO doctrine,,
E. .JCHOOI.S
23. Despite the very careful selection in the Russian pilot schools, flight
personnel do not show great technical ability. 1;'vridence of this is the number of in-
efficient planes w iich amounts generally to about 30%.
24 The best pilots are the old ones who belonged to the air force before 1941,
They are either monarch.tsts, or they belonged to the "Croatian Legieaatt which fought
with the Germans on the Russian front. They are being replaced by the newly trained
pilots.
25 The schools in 'UIGOOLAVIA are divided into Pilot Schools lot grade and 2nd
grade.
26. In the let grade schools the students learn to take offs, to land, and. t he
elementary phase of ham a plane in the air. :chile learning to handle various
planes, the student is gradually trained to recognize the localities over which he
flies by applying the theories of simple aerial navigation which he is being taught.
The let grade schools are equipped with Tigers, R rds and unp;;?--cified types of
Russian planes (date: 14 Sept 1946).
27. In the 2nd grade schools the practical rart of flight instruction is divided
into two phases. After the first phase of the training the rdl,itary pilot's licensee
is obtained. The 2nd phase is for training in a specialty. The 2nd grade Pilot
Schools are. equi aped with faster planes of the sane types as used by the air force,
most of the instructors and the teaching personnel are Russians, Germans and Croats.
