The three-year cadet training program at the Military Air Force Acaden r leads
to a commission as lieutenant in the air force. The first two years are spent
at the Acade at the Hradec Kralove airfield, about five km. north of Hradec
Kralove (05171) near the village of Vekos. The third year of schooling is
spent at Pardubice, where advanced flight training is given, The reason for
the transfer of advanced training to Pardubice is that the airfield at Hradec
Kralove is not large enough to handle S-199 (Me 109) planes used for fighter
training.
The training program at the Academy is as follows:
a. First year:
From I October to 28 October the new cadet receives infantry training
using model 98 rifles, 7.92 mm "Schwerzlose" machine gux, German gas
masks and other German war booty. A few old pieces of Soviet equipment

begins.

Navigation, Meteorology, Engines, General Tactics. Neapons, Theory of
Fling, Connunications, Chemical Warfare. Intelligence Service, Quarter-
