Не найти. Точнее -- не найти средств и времени на их подготовку.
"Конвеер асов" спёкся весной 1944-го. Также, как чуть раньше спёкся конвеер капитанов подводных лодок. Вот, нагуглилось следующее:
Clearly, the victories attained by the well-trained US fighter pilots in the great November 1944 battles were among the "easiest" victories achieved by any fighter pilots in World War II, quite comparable to the kills which were scored by the Luftwaffe veterans against Soviet rookies when Soviet pilot training had reached its lowest level in the summer of 1942.
...
As was noted in the article 'The effect of Allied numerical superiority in the air over Normandy in 1944', pilot training quality inevitably suffered. It started with the calling of many instructors to first-line service. This first step lowered the quality of the trainers themselves. Next, the pilot training schemes were shortened. Already in early 1944, the Luftwaffe fighter pilot training was shortened to an average of 160 flight hours. A few weeks later, it was further shortened to only 112 hours. Finally, in the spring of 1944, the B flight schools were disbanded, and the pilots were sent into first-line service directly after A schools. The condition for the A2 flight certificate included a basic training of sixty training flights with a total of 15 flight hours. Meanwhile, the average USAAF or RAF fighter pilot's training consisted of 225 flight hours.
