During World War II, Great Britain sent Royal Air Force cadets to six locations in the United States. Two of these schools were in Ponca City and Miami, OK.
The locations of all six schools were chosen for their wide, open spaces. Ponca City had the Darr School of Aeronautics, and Miami had the Spartan School of Aeronautics. Both schools offered similar training, but due to the large number of cadets, they stayed busy from 1941 to 1945.
