AeroPhoto,

First, Welcome aboard ! And Congratulations on your initial Post on this the best Thread on PPRuNe, and thank you for the professional pictures of the Carlstrom camp. I was an Aviation Cadet in Class 42C at Carlstrom from September - October '41, doing my Primary School under the Army Air Corps "Arnold" Scheme for RAF trainees.

Apart from the circular outline, everything has changed since my day, but I note that our swimming pool (in the exact centre of the circle) has been filled in (but you can still see a faint outline). The story of my time there should be in around Page 116 of this Thread.

Cheers, Danny.
