When the expansion of the RAF began in 1934, Air Commodore Tedder
observed that the established order of school training not only
failed to produce operational competence, but left so much to be
done by the operational squadrons that they could only attain
passable military efficiency after an uphill struggle. He proposed
to raise the standards of school instruction so that pilots would
leave the facility as operationally competent pilots, although it
would mean lengthening the period of instruction as well as
revising the syllabus. It was against this somewhat sorry
background of training and logistical problems, as well as having
the clouds of war firmly visible on the horizon, that the decision
was taken to form a new RAF Training Command on 1 May 1936; an
organisation derived from the ashes of the former RAF Inland Area.
This book will tell the story - in words and pictures - of RAF
Training Command from 1 May 1936 until it was separated into Flying
Training Command and Technical Training Command on 27 May 1940.
Both commands were then transferred into the newly re-established
RAF Training Command on 1 June 1968, until it was then absorbed
into RAF Support Command on 13 June 1977.
