No. 1 British Flying Training School

The No. 1 British Flying Training School Museum celebrates cooperation between the Royal Air Force and the United States. More than 2,300 British and American pilots earned their wings at the RAF Field in Terrell between 1941 and 1945. I was able to finally able to visit the museum today. Over the next few days I will post some of the pictures I took.

If anyone has memories, stories, pictures or anything they would like to donate to the museum drop me an email and I can get you in touch with the museum, or you can give them a call 972-524-1586.
