Wozz goin' on?

Xercs. no apology is needed. I too have struggled to understand the sometimes arcane hand-written things put on my father's Record Cards - they, (the records clerks in the 1940s) obviously knew what they meant, but at this distance it is difficult for us to decipher. The man we need to come in right now is 'Petet' who has cleared up these clerical mysteries for us on more than one occasion on this thread. It would indeed be most helpful to see a scan (a picture is worth a thousand words). Until I have sight of this record I wonder if the line "Spartan SofA" without a date next to it is just a heading, ref. lend-lease billing, and doesn't mean that he went to Tulsa at that time but that they knew that 3 BFTS was where he would finally reach a flying school after acclimatisation and ground school at Albany and Maxwell.
Don't know. Just saying!
