I agree with Ormeside28 - approx 20% U.S. content was the norm at my father's Alma Mater (No. 5 B.F.T.S. Clewiston).
His course (12) was the first of the "blended" courses with 17 U.S. and 83 U.K. cadets.
Same figures for courses 14, 15, and 16. Course 13 had 17 U.S. but only 70 U.K. cadets.
Courses 17 and 18 (the final of the 7 completed "blended courses) had 20 U.S. and 90 U.K
participants.
All of the U.S. graduates served in Air Transport Command. My post no. 5554 Page 278 (Pilot's Brevet Thread) refers.
