    Abstract
    130,000 pilots and other aircrew through the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) trained in Canada during the Second World War. Because of the wide-open spaces, proximity to American technology, and that it wasn’t a combat zone, Canada was an ideal place for flight training. Servicemen from Canada, Britain, Australia, and New Zealand trained at 151 different BCATP bases across the country.
