The Arnold Scheme Summary

The Arnold Scheme: British Pilots, The American South and the Allies' Daring Plan by Gilbert Guinn

In total, Britain sent more than four thousand young airmen to the south-eastern United States to train as part of the Arnold Scheme. Cities such as Lakeland, Florida; Camden, South Carolina; Tuscaloosa, Alabama and Albany, Georgia welcomed the budding British aces with open arms. In this compelling new book, learn the inside story of the Arnold Scheme through a well-crafted narrative featuring excerpts from letters home, diaries and journals, and discover the details of the strategic offensive that would help prepare Britain for war.
