So the story goes that my grandpa did the Civilian Pilot Training Program in the 1930s and was flying Cubs around. It's even how he met my grandma and it definitely got me interested in aviation from an early age (passed my PPL checkride 2/27). As far as anyone in the family knows he didn't do any flying in WWII or after. So I looked him up on the FAA website and he had a CPL ASEL with the limit of flight instructor expiring 144 calendar months after issuance.
I'm hoping some folks on here can explain a little more about how certificates in this time period were issued, how long a CFI certificate was good for, etc. To me it looks like he was an instructor in the CPTP and only got a formal certificate issued after the war? idk
