In 1941, before Pearl Harbour, President Franklin D. Roosevelt agreed with Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill, to provide flight training for British and Commonwealth pilots in the U.S.A. by the U.S. Army Air Corps.

Over 4,000 pilots were trained, some of them at this airfield, and many of them lost their lives in air operations against our common enemies.

This plaque is placed in remembrance by those who by the grace of God survived.
