Here are some pictures I took from an album in Terrell Library, altho Cliff and Reg were at Poca and Albany it should give people a visual idea of what the BFTS and Arnold Schmes looked like with their purpose built airfields. This is BFTS 1 where Al's Father I think was Chief Flying Instructor:-
Terrell Control Tower
Terrell Dorms and Admin buildings, incidentally after the war a plane crashed into them and they caught fire destroying all the records
Looks like excited cadets forming up ready to fly in the advanced training.
