SPEEDED UP
BRITISH COMMONWEALTH AIR TRAINING PLAN. READY FOR ANY EVENTUALITY. OTTAWA. The British Commonwealth Air Training Plan has been speeded up to such an extent that, according to the Hon. C. G. Power, Minister of National Defence for Air, should enemy operations render full scale training impossible in Great Britain, a good portion of that work could be carried on in Canada. Major Power revealed that 11,416 officers and men are actually in training, an increase of some 3000 in the last month. First pupils trained under the joint air plan will graduate in September. There is no shortage of pupils. Air crew personnel in training will shortly number 2418, and that figure will be increased rapidly.
