In 1941, the United States was neutral ground, but Germany's killer
forces were devouring Europe. The British Royal Air Force needed
pilots fast, to fight the highly trained German combat forces.
President Roosevelt and General ?Hap? Arnold knew the United States
had to help turn the tide of war, and the Arnold Scheme was born.
Lakeland and Arcadia, Florida. Camden, South Carolina. Tuscaloosa,
Alabama. Americus and Albany, Georgia. These were the Sunbelt towns
that became the heart and soul of SEACTC (Southeast Air Corps
Training Center) and welcomed thousands of British pilot trainees
as they embarked on their dangerous missions. In excerpts from
letters, diaries and journals, learn the inside story of the Arnold
Scheme and the strategic offensive that would help prepare the
nation for war.
