A discussion is given of the arrangements that have been made for aeronautical and aerospace engineering education of members of the armed forces in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, West Germany and Australia. A striking feature of the comparisons is shown to be the extent of the differences in the arrangements in the various countries. A less detailed and less rigorous version of the paper was presented at the Aerotech 92 conference (1).
