Sport used to train aerial gunners during W.W. II (5)

I believe the answer is:

skeet

(Other definitions for skeet that I've seen before include "US version of a shooting sport involving clay pigeons" , "American clay pigeon shooting" , "A form of clay-pigeon shooting" , "Form of clay pigeon shooting" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
