EMPIRE AIR SCHEME
FLIERS ARRIVE IN ENGLAND VALUE OF TRAINING Press Asn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) LONDON, Sept. 15 The Times, after noting that airmen, trained in Canada, are arriving in England states: “When the Empire air training scheme was first launched nine months ago, one of the main advantages forseen was that it would enable airmen to be trained in a climate giving them many more hours in a week for flying instruction than can be expected in this country. Now that Britain is in the front line of battle flying instruction in it has become difficult and precarious. “This advantage is even more valuable than the training scheme itself, and is part of a larger programme, which provides for the great expansion of the air forces of the Dominions. It contemplates a flow of trained crews into the Empire air forces at a rate, not of thousands but of tens of thousands a year.”
