This book looks at the Empire Air Training Scheme, renamed the Commonwealth Air Training Plan in 1942. One of the most important agreements hammered out by Britain during World War II, it involved horse-trading on a global scale, enabling thousands of British airmen to train in the US and the Dominions, so keeping the RAF supplied with the aircrew it needed to win and maintain air supremacy. The author is, himself, a product of the scheme, having trained as a pilot in Assiniboia and Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada.
Foreword by Lord Barber.
