Pryse (1912-2002), about Darr Aero Tech, the flying school established by Harold S. Darr in 1944, and where Pryse served as personnel manager. This scrapbook was compiled in 1994, and includes reproductions of many items that also appear in Darr Aero Tech Scrapbook #1 (zgn_darr-aerotech_scrapbook-01) and Darr Aero Tech Scrapbook #2 (zgn_darr-aerotech_scrapbook-02), compiled a half-century earlier. Thousands of British RAF pilots were trained in the southeastern United States at the Darr Aero Tech Flying School. The school's training was based on the "Arnold" or "Arnoldian" scheme, a three-phase World War II training plan with primary, basic, and advanced phases, developed by U.S. General Henry Harley ("Hap") Arnold. Arnold's plans were implemented by the United States Army Air Service and United States Army Air Corps, both predecessors of the United States Air Force, which became its own military division in 1947. This school and scheme trained thousands of British pilots in the Southeastern United States, when they could not train at home due to military threats inside and around Great Britain. Courses were run by civilian United States Army Air Corp (AARC) and Royal Air Force (RAF) instructors on single and multi-engine planes; each training center was assigned RAF administrators to handle the discipline and pay for British trainees.</dc:description><dc:format>image/jp2</dc:format><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:rights>http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/</dc:rights><dc:subject>Darr Aero Tech School (Albany, Ga.)</dc:subject><dc:subject>Arnold, Henry Harley, 1886-1950--Military leadership</dc:subject><dc:subject>United States.
