At the beginning of WWII Britain knew they would need to train a large number of pilots so flying and aircrew training schools were set up across Great Britain. However with German air attacks the need for schools outside Great Britain realized so schools began to open in all parts of the British Commonwealth as well as 7 in the U.S.A.. One such school was 4BFTS (British Flight Training School) established in Mesa, Arizona in June 1941 and one type of aircraft used was the Boeing PT-17 Stearman.
