Royal Air Force Training in Oklahoma during World War II

Description and coordinates of the facilities used to train RAF pilots in Miami, Ponca City, and Tulsa. Part of a website by Scott D. Murdock, who visits and photographs the remains of past U. S. Air Force and U. S. Army Air Corps facilities for his site airforcebase.net. Here is his collection of Tulsa and other Oklahoma Air Force facilities. I didn't know that the Air Force had its Tulsa Transceiver Control Station from 1956 to 1962 at 1226-1228 (now 1232) E. 2nd Street, or its Air Corps Technical Training Command headquarters at the Tribune Building (now the Tribune Lofts).
