These aircraft were preparing bombadier /navigator crews for the NAA B-25 Mitchell. Note the row of Mitchell bombers on the Jackson ramp with freshly painted RNAF insignia. In addition the RNAF was issued a nandful of Lockheed C-40 Electra's & C-60 Lodestar's for local liason usage. As a point of interest a complete Flying Training program was also established at Jackson AAF for Dutch personnel seeking pilot ratings. These personnel were subjected to the identical US flying training program utilizing USAAF marked aircraft for Primary, Basic and Advanced. These training aircraft displayed the Jackson AAF fuselage field letter code of a suffixed "J" (e.g. 234 J). </font></p><p> <!--"''"--></p> </p> <p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <!--"''"--></p></p> </div> <!--/area Type="area_c"--></td> </tr> </table></td> <td height="348" width="1"> <img alt="" height="348" src="http://webhosting.web.com/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif" width="1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td background="http://webhosting.web.com/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/design_0060_4.jpg" height="7" width="100%"></td> <td height="7" width="1"> <img alt="" height="7" src="http://webhosting.web.com/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif" width="1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#333333" height="24" width="100%"> <!--area Type="runner" class="user runner"--> <div xmlns:local="local" class="user runner"> <p> Enter supporting content here </p> <!--area Type="footer" class="user footer"--> <div class="user footer"> <p><A HREF="http://www.register.com/retail/product/website.rcmx" TARGET="_blank">Powered by Register.com</A><!--"''"--></p> </div> <!--/area Type="footer"--> </div> <!--/area Type="runner"--></td> <td height="24" width="1"> <img alt="" height="24" src="http://webhosting.web.com/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif" width="1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="1" width="760"> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://webhosting.web.com/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif" width="760"></td> <td height="1" width="1"></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
