• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

The British Flying Training Schools (BFTS)​

​

The British FlyingTraining Schools represents the classic "All-Through School" as described on the Home page of this site. The RAFcadets training at the referenced fields utilized the PT-17 or PT-19 for primary, then the BT-13 for basic and finally the AT-6 for their flying qualification.Typically each BFTS location was provided with forty each of the three types of aircraft. Through RAF Hq. insistance the Vultee BT-13 Valiant aircraft was withdrawn from the flying training sequence and students transitioned directly from primary to advanced flying training. Given the RAF success of this revised flying training plan the USAAF (and USN) withdrew the BT-13 from their flying training program as well. As a point of interest occasionally a contingent of USAAF cadets were included in the British schools and upon graduation were awarded both USAAF and RAF wings for their uniforms. ​
