In total, Britain sent more than four thousand young airmen to the south-eastern United States to train as part of the Arnold Scheme. Cities such as Lakeland, Florida; Camden, South Carolina; Tuscaloosa, Alabama and Albany, Georgia welcomed the budding British aces with open arms. In this compelling new book, learn the inside story of the Arnold Scheme through a well-crafted narrative featuring excerpts from letters home, diaries and journals, and discover the details of the strategic offensive that would help prepare Britain for war.
Gilbert Guinn served for seven years in the USAF. He is Emeritus Professor in history at Lander University. He began his research in 1981 during his Fulbright year in Britain. He has contacted and corresponded with more than 650 former British cadets worldwide since 1983, and researched in Britain, Canada and the United States.
