Abstract
This dataset was created as part of Daniel J. Leahy's 2018 Bachelor of Arts with Honours project investigating the archaeology of airfields utilised by schools of the Empire Air Training Scheme during the Second World War. Sites include those in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Zimbabwe (formerly Southern Rhodesia) and South Africa. Similar sites utilised by the British Flying Training Schools in the United States have also been included.
Each site is recorded by its latitude, longitude, and UTM coordinates in the standard of the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS-84). A raw text (CSV) file has been included as well as a PDF document of how this data was formatted to appear as Appendix A in Leahy's 2018 Honours thesis.
