BRITISH COMMONWEALTH
AIR TRAINING PLAN

LE PLAN D’ENTRAINEMENT
AÉRIEN DU COMMONWEALTH

Created as a result of an agreement signed by the
United Kingdom and Canada on 17 December, 1939, this
Plan was one of Canada’s most important contributions
to the Allied war effort in World War II. Over 130,000
airmen from the forces of the Commonwealth and other
countries, including pilots, navigators, bomb aimers,
wireless operators and gunners, trained at schools
established across Canada. Many of the instructors who
were the mainstay of the Plan came from the Trenton
base. Airfields built for the Plan became an important
part of Canada’s postwar aviation network.

Ce programme, fruit d’un accord conclu par le Royaume-
Uni et le Canada le 17 décembre 1939, fut l’une des plus
importantes contributions apportées par notre pays à
l’effort de guerre des Alliés pendant la Seconde Guerre
mondiale. Plus de 130 000 pilotes, navigateurs,
bombardiers, opérateurs radio et mitrailleurs de pays du
Commonwealth et d’autres États reçurent leur formation
aux écoles établies d’un bout à l’autre du Canada.
Nombre de leurs instructeurs venaient de la base de
Trenton. Après la guerre, les aérodromes aménagés aux
fins du programme constituèrent une partie importante
du réseau de transport aérien du Canada.
