was wondering if you had any information on No 1 Aircrew graduate training school In my father’s log book there is no entries for his time at this station This would imply that there was no flying involved just looking for a few details thanks
James, an excellent question and the information you provided actually left me more confused that I was before. I did find this on the formation order for No 1 Aircrew Graduate Training School. “Aircrew Graduate Training Schools for both Officers and N.C.O.’s are to be formed to provide further training in the duties and responsibilities they must assume on receipt of the rank granted to them on completion of their flying training.” the formation order can be found at https://heritage.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.lac_reel_c12367/449
