FAA flying training 1940-41

No 9 EFTS, RAF Anstey nr. Coventry, (p.38)
No 28 EFTS, Wolverhampon (p. 39)
No 29 EFTS, RAF Clyffe, Pypard, Wilts. (p.43)

FAA reluctance to use EFTS for RAF-style grading (p.92)

The book suggests that FAA would-be trainees were seeded throughout RAF EFTS.

This book, despite its title, is concerned with FAA training in the US.
