Some photos from June 1941, Class 42-A of the Arnold Scheme. My father is in the cockpit of what I assume to be a Vultee at Darr Aero Tech. He has no parachute strapped on, so I imagine this is the first time he had been in the cockpit and is simply posing for the photo? Note the sunburned nose - he came from Shetland and found the heat almost intolerable in Georgia!
Lt. Teeter was his first instructor and Bert O'Shaugnessy a fellow class 42A member.
