(Henry McIntosh), 1912-20021941/1945Materials from the Darr Aerotech Flight School in Albany, Georgia, where British Royal Air Force (RAF) pilots received technical training during World War II. Many of these British air pilots eventually fought in the Battle of Britain. ​​​​Women also worked at Turner Field during the Darr Aero Tech program; those recorded in this collection participated actively during World War II, performing engineering and/or administrative roles. Pilots became students of the​​ Arnold Scheme, designed by US General Henry H. Arnold, Chief of the United States Army Air Forces, and developed to train RAF pilots at airfields in rural areas of Georgia, Florida and Alabama from 1941-1943. Women are seen throughout the collection working as cafeteria staff, dispatchers, parachute packers, inside of group portraits (without roles), and as wives or girlfriends of male air pilots. If married, women are identified by their husband's names. Because segregation in the United States Armed Forces was official policy until 1948, and in Southern states until 1964, all people in military and clerical support services we see inside this collection are white.image/jp2application/pdfenghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/African Americans--SegregationAir pilotsAirplanes--DispatchingAllied Forces--OrganizationAnniversariesArmed Forces--UniformsArmies--CommissariatArnold, Henry Harley, 1886-1950--Military leadershipBiscuitsCanteens (Establishments)CemeteriesCessna aircraftCombined operations (Military science)--HistoryDarr Aero Tech School (Albany, Ga.)Federated Garden Club of Albany (Albany, Ga.)Fish as foodFood habitsGreat Britain.
