RCAF Station Vulcan, more properly called RCAF Aerodrome Vulcan, was a World War II training air station located near the town of Vulcan, Alberta, Canada. It was one station of many that were established in Canada under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. The Vulcan aerodrome was opened on August 3 1942 as No. 2 Flying Instructor School (FIS), training instructors who would go on to train other pilots. In April 1943, No. 2 FIS moved to the Pearce aerodrome near Fort Macleod and Vulcan became No. 19 Service Flying Training School (SFTS), training future bomber pilots using the twin-engined Anson. The station closed on April 14 1945.
