I just looked at my father's log book ( a very treasured possession ) and he
got his private in 3 months with 27 hours in 1947.

I don't know what the exact requirements were, but I do know that it was
much simpler back then. An old friend of mine got his ticket in the late
'40s and he was surprised at the amount of book learnin' and flying I had
to
do to get my ticket 40 yrs. later.

I remember looking at his logbook and seeing his first solo on the 4th
entry, after 3.5 hrs of instruction in an Ercoupe.
