Re: FTS and SFTS in the RAF
Between the wars the FTS trained pilots from ab initio to posting to squadron. From 1935 the elementary element was transferred to civilian-run schools, the Elementary and Reserve Flying Training Schools. With the outbreak of war, the civilian schools were taken into the military and the FTS became Service Flying Training Schools, reverting to the title of FTS postwar.
Summarised from Air Britain's Flying Training and Support Units since 1912.
