===British Flying Training School===
During World War II, the No. 1 British Flying Training School was located in Terrell. It was the first of six civilian [[flight school]]s in the United States dedicated to instructing British [[Royal Air Force]] (RAF) pilots during that war.<ref>[http://web3.unt.edu/untpress/catalog/detail.cfm?ID=198 Killebrew, Tom: The Royal Air Force in Texas: Training British Pilots in Terrell during World War II ]</ref> This followed an international training concept similar to that previously implemented during World War I near Fort Worth at [[Camp Taliaferro]].

Terrell Municipal Airport hosts the No. 1 British Flying Training School Museum, which has an extensive record of the school.<ref name="bftsmuseum.org">[http://www.bftsmuseum.org No. 1 British Flying Training School Museum website]</ref> In 2000, the museum was instrumental in honoring four RAF airmen who died in a crash during World War II. The four, flying from Terrell, encountered difficulties over the [[Kiamichi Mountains]] of Oklahoma. The [[AT6 Monument]], whose dedication made international headlines with many from Terrell and the United Kingdom present, marks the spot of one of the crashes. City, state, and even international dignitaries gathered in Terrell on Friday, September 16, 2011, to mark the opening of the new Major William F. Long Terminal Building.
