Description
RAF Training Command: A Pictorial History This book tells the story of RAF Training Command from its formation in 1936 to its eventual absorption into RAF Support Command in 1977. Against the backdrop of war and logistical challenges, it explores how the organisation evolved over time. The decision to create a new RAF Training Command was driven by concerns about pilot training standards, which had been deemed inadequate. In response, a new command was established, with the aim of raising standards and producing operationally competent pilots. The book features a wealth of photographs and illustrations that bring this period in RAF history to life. From its inception until its eventual merger with another command, RAF Training Command played a crucial role in the development of the Royal Air Force's training programmes. This book provides a unique insight into the organisation's history and its significance in the context of RAF operations during World War II and beyond.
