The Air Defence Cadet Corps (ADCC) was set up in 1938 by Air Commodore Chamier.

The corps was extremely popular with thousands joining up all earger to help Britain prepare for World War 2.

In 1941, in order to provide the means of giving part-time air training to young men destined for the Royal Air Force, the ADCC was formally established as the Air Training Corps by Royal Warrant. The ATC still continues today training young people in all types of life skills.
