"IN A COMMON CAUSE"

This one-hour documentary video depicts the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan 1939-1945, which trained more than 131,000 aircrew throughout Canada. At the start of World War II, the British Government looked to the Dominions for air training help because the United Kingdom did not have the space to accommodate training and operational facilities and because aerodromes in the United Kingdom were vulnerable to enemy attack. In comparison with Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, Canada offered particular advantages – its proximity to Britain allowed for easier transportation of men and equipment; Canada had a larger capacity to manufacture aircraft; and Canadian industries had easy access to the US market for aircraft parts. The veterans who lived through the experience of the BCATP tell their story in this video, confirming its contribution to the World War II air effort and the allied victory.
