Ty,
British Commonwealth Aircraft Training Program .Lots of Americans went thru the program before Pearl Harbour,as did flyer's and aircrew from around the world.For many years the Canadian Nat's were held at an old training base (Centralia).
Harvard's,Anson's,Tiger Moths,Fleet Flinches,and yes Cornells were used.Plus a lot of farmer's fields for various reasons.I sure miss that place for our Nat's site.
