My father learnt to fly at 1 BFTS at Terrell Texas. They have a small museum dedicated to those interesting times:-
Home - No. 1 British Flying Training School Museum - Fly-In
Dad is still going strong at 92 and still recounts the day that he was flying on a cross country training flight where 3 a/c crashed on route - killing 6 cadets
Apparently poor weather had set in (unforecast) across the hills spanning the route to the airfield where the students were going to swap seats for the flight back to Terrell. Luckily for Dad the valley he ended up going down wasn't a dead end!
