IN R.A.F.
SINCE THE FACT THAT AMERICANS CAN JOIN THE R.A.F. WAS MENTIONED MANY APPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED FROM AMERICANS IN BRITAIN.

who have joined in England are five who had been serving in a French air squadron. So far, all the Americans who have applied in Britain have been given commis- sions, on account of their ex- perience.
In Cánáda' more than 400 have already joined, and among them are many highly qualified ́in- ⚫structors, who are a valuable aç- qulsition. on account of the Ein- „pire Air Training scheme.
