This article contains a list of the Southern Rhodesian facilities forming part of Joint Air Training Scheme which was a major programme for training South African Air Force, Royal Air Force and Allied air crews during World War II.
[1] However, RAF Training units would still be based in this country until a decade after the war had finished A war-time Elementary Flying Training School (EFTS) gave a recruit 50 hours of basic aviation instruction on a simple trainer like the Tiger Moth.
Other trainees went on to different specialties, such as wireless, navigation or bombing and air gunnery.
[1] These are the units that formed the Rhodesia Air Training Group.
After a short period, No.5 FTS was disbanded / redesignated as No.3 ANS specialising in Navigation training, sending all Tiger Moths & Harvards across to join No.4 FTS, and in return receiving No.4 FTS Ansons to add to its own.
