Never thught of putting details into a piltos breifing. I have a complete section of character biographies too, since I do not know how to put them into the story itself.
In a Hollywood movie, this would be done as the new commanding officer meets his(her) pilots.
You might consider revising to bring the details in as the calm before the storm. Your central character can be the new commander, forced to fly also because of a lack of pilots.
