The Empire Air Training Scheme (EATS), established in 1939, was a significant World War II program designed to train aircrew for the British Commonwealth. Australia played a crucial role, contributing to the scheme by training thousands of pilots, navigators, and other aircrew members. The scheme aimed to address the urgent need for skilled personnel to support the Allied air war effort. Training took place in Australia and other Commonwealth countries, providing a vital boost to the Allied air forces. EATS was instrumental in developing the capabilities of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and other Allied air services throughout the war.
