"When war broke out in Sept. 1939 the Allied air forces had few combat aircraft and even fewer military pilots ready to fight.

The instructors moulded thousands of teenaged recruits into fighter and bomber pilots navigators air gunners bomb aimers wireless operators and ground crew. They took pilots from elementary 'circuits and bumps' on Fleet Finches to the rigours of aerobatics in Harvards navigational practice in Ansons or gunnery exercises in Fairey Battles. At its peak the plan adminstered 107 schools and 184 other units at sites all across Canada operated 11000 aircraft and employed 104.000 men and women. The BCATP trained 200000 air crew in less than five years.". First printing. Hardcover. Octavo. Macmillan of Canada
