   Many of the British young students at the British Flying Training School were killed during training and were interred in a special section of the Oakland Cemetery.


There are 20 graves in all.  See Photos of the Graves of the British Flying Training School Pilots for photos.  Here are their names, listed in Order of their Death Dates - it is obvious some probably died in the same crashes:
