Dad on Arnold scheme

In answer to Danny's question about hazing ... Dad was at Macon. They had an American senior class but had no problems with them as he says the yanks were afraid they would be beaten up by the Raf blokes! The American senior officer in charge of the cadets was a Westpointer and 'full of bull'

After gaining his wings on 3rd Jan 1942 Dad stayed on to train as a flying instructor - completed in Feb 1942. His instructor came from Chicago. Dad then went on to instruct at Darr Aerotech in Albany. His logbook lists all his trainees. I wonder how many survived the war.
