Id say that the huge majority of conversions were done by ex GI's of many countries upon returning home. Some were prior hams, others joined in the post war frenzy having met them in the service; therefore the work done is all over the place. 
That was back when a ham actually knew fairly involved theory and could fix or build things with a minimum of "stress".

Others were new ham teenagers looking to get on the air on the cheap; many continued into an engineering career because of that Command set, BC-348, ART-13 or whatever else they had to modify so it worked to their satisfaction.

These days the stress is in how to connect the coax to a connector and the effort requires a visit to his headshrinker. Some of the biggest whiners on here are fairy young, getting into mil radio long after the fact and could also do with a friendly visit to a medical practitioner....spoiled brats who think everything they say is important and should be adhered to.

Id be interested in knowing the education level of our current crop of crybabies.

They would go into a catonic state if they saw my W2EWL SSB rig

  Everyone can specialize in something good, be it engineering, homebrewing, repairs or convetsations.... as radio amateurs, united we stand surely still applies.

  The huge majority of hams have no understanding of circuits. They can
  barely plug together a rice box. They are really very little more than
  CBers, and their "improvements" are generally butchery.

  I know nothing about the operating rules, but easily passed the on-line
  Extra tests by just knowing the engineering.
