My Father was on Course 42C and a photo of him beside a Stearman shows the number 50 on the engine nacelle. He started at Darr Sep 2 41, then Vultees at Cochrane Nov 6, finally AT 6 at Dothan 2 Jan graduating Mar 28 42.
I came across a document in an Arnold Scheme file at Kew re Class 42A. 550 trainees started the course Jun 8 41, 270 graduated 3 Jan 42. Eliminated due to flying deficiency 251, ( Primary 44%, Basic 3%, Advanced 35% ) Held over 17, Deceased 9, Deserted 1, & 2 were eliminated for Discipline & Insurbordination.
The trainees were older men & many married. Apparently this led to an early stage rebellion against American discipline which accounts for the two eliminations. Apologies if this has already been covered in this fascinating thread.
