"Detached Flight: The Book of No. 1 B.F.T.S. Vol. V" British Flight Training School Book

This is a hardcover copy of "Detached Flight: The Book of No. 1 B.F.T.S. Vol. V" yearbook for the No. 1 British Flight Training School. Early in the war, Royal Air Force pilots trained at civilian flight training schools in the United States, and after Pearl Harbor they were joined by American cadets as well. The No. 1 B.F.T.S. was at Terrell, Texas. The book has several black-and-white photographs as well as some illustrations, and comes with a few handwritten pages of what seem to be fellows with whom the book's owner wanted to keep in touch. This yearbook is the fifth volume out of six published: we also have Volume VI available for sale (please see link at the bottom of the page for more information).
