Why was it hard to become a pilot in 1920?

It wasn't hard, but it was dangerous. Flying was still a 'work-in-progress' during much of the 1920 and 1930s, so you literally took your life in your hands every time you went up. The chance of you or your flying instructor having a deadly encounter with the force of gravity was very good (or bad, if you prefer).


How many b 17 are still flying?

Most specifically -- answer of 14:"Today, fewer than 100 B-17 airframes exist and fewer still are in airworthy condition. At one time, more than 1,000 B-17s could be assembled for mass combat missions, less than 15 of Boeing's famous bombers can still take to the air."BTW - The EAA AirVenture Musuem's WWII B-17 Flying Fortress does a tour of the USA every year, giving morning rides and ground tours (usually in the afternoon). While it's not cheap, it's a truly unique experience and one which will last a lifetime.

Vietman war DC3 aircraft?

The USAF's first aerial GUNSHIP; "Puff the Magic Dragon." The civilian version of the C-47 is the DC-3. "Puff" was replaced by the C-119 Flying Boxcar gunship, which was replaced by the AC-130 Spectre Gunship, which is still in the USAF inventory. The AC-130 Spectre is simply a gunned C-130 Hercules transport airplane.
