Discover the untold story of the Empire Air Training Scheme (EATS) during World War II. This groundbreaking training program was crucial to the Allied victory, training over 37,000 Australian aircrew. However, the cost of this training was high, with over 300 fatalities during training and nearly 10,000 aircrew killed or missing in action.
Through extensive research of over 35,000 articles from various newspapers, including metropolitan, regional, and district publications, The Empire as an Answer sheds light on one of the greatest training programs in history.
Join us on a journey that explores the conception and implementation of the scheme, recruitment and basic training, flight training, and the ultimate transition into combat. Through gripping individual accounts, you'll experience the triumphs and trials of these extraordinary airmen and airwomen who rose to the occasion in a time of great need.
Despite its significant achievements and success, the Empire Air Training Scheme has largely been overlooked in our history. This book aims to rectify that, bringing this remarkable story to the forefront for the first time.
