During the war, with oversight from the Aircraft Production Board, Americans were educated in droves at six new Military Aviation schools opened in 1916 or 1917.[1] The first class of these students, 147 strong, graduated on 14 July 1917; 150–200 more were expected to graduate each week thereafter.[2] American students also studied at the Royal Flying Corps school in Toronto.[2]
