Juno Beach Centre: British Commonwealth Air Training Plan

Curated by ACT

The British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, also known as the Empire Air Training Scheme, was put in place during World War Two. Its goal was to train pilots from Britain, Australia and Canada for the Royal Air Force in Britain. Canada was the ideal place for this due to its proximity to Britain, its open spaces and its relatively greater safety. The history and progress of the plan, the training young men underwent, and the success of the program are explained here.
