This is a List of facilities of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan in Australia (BCATP), a major program for training Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) air crews during World War II for service with the Royal Air Force. Agreed in December 1939, the program was known in Australia as the Empire Air Training Scheme (EATS).[2] The first Australian training schools were established the following year.[3] Course duration and content evolved over time but the basic structure of the scheme remained the same for the duration of the war.[4] Over 52,000 personnel enlisted in the RAAF as aircrew and some 37,000 graduated from EATS schools.[5]
