The Canadian Aviation   Historical Society The Canadian Aviation   Historical Society July 2024 e–Newsletter  July 2024 e–Newsletter  From the Desk of the Executive  From the Desk of the Executive  Welcome to another great Canadian summer!   Our annual convention in Saskatoon was a fantastic success. From Wednesday, 19 June through to Saturday, 22 June, we participated in presentations, tours, and conversations that made the event worth being there. The Saskatchewan Aviation Museum and Learning Centre hosted our presentations and AGM, with great support and services. The Sandman Inn supplied an excellent rate and was the location for our Wednesday Meet & Greet as well as our Friday evening banquet. Overall, a fabulous four days.   The two recipients of the William Wheeler Volunteer Award were Bill Zuk, Board member from Winnipeg and the CAHS New Brunswick Chapter. Both were very worthy of this recognition.   The 2024-2025 Board of Directors are: James Mason (Montreal Chapter President), Mathias Joost, Dr. Richard Mayne, Bert Furlong, Jerry Vernon (Vancouver Chapter President), and LCol Dr. Paul Johnston. The five executive board positions are as follows: Kyle Huth (Ottawa Chapter President) as your new Vice-President, Dr. Rachel Lea Heide continues as our valued Treasurer, Jim Bell (Winnipeg Chapter President) is your very organized Secretary, Bill Zuk takes on the Membership Secretary role, and I remain as your President.   This dedicated team is well positioned to see us forward into the next year and beyond.   Plan to attend the next CAHS National Convention, planned for Ottawa in June 2025, exact dates to be determined. The convention, where you can meet members from across the country who share your passion for aviation, is one of the major benefits of membership in the CAHS. We encourage all members to take advantage of this opportunity.   Blue skies, Welcome to another great Canadian summer!   Our annual convention in Saskatoon was a fantastic success.

From the Desk of the Journal Editor From the Desk of the Journal Editor Cover images for Journals 58-3 and 58-4  Cover images for Journals 58-3 and 58-4  Since the previous newsletter, work has resumed on the final two numbers of Journal Volume 58. Number 3 (the cover for which is shown above, featuring Helene Girard's lovely study of a Buffalo Airways DC-3 in its usual setting) will be ready for the proofreaders as soon as I get the final draft of my "From the Editor" and "Cover Stories" columns chopped down to a suitable size for the space available, and some of the remaining photo captioning completed. This will occur within the coming week.    The unmistakable yellow Harvards illustrated by Allan Botting on the second cover are in theme with Leo Pettipas' "Manitoba and Early Cold War Flying Training in the RCAF" – a feature article that will appear in Volume 58 Number 4. His subject, the NATO Air Training Plan, was, as Leo reminds us in his introduction:   Less conspicuous in Canadian military aviation historiography is a similar enterprise that did not achieve the overall magnitude of the [British Commonwealth Air Training Plan] but which actually ran for a longer period of time. The NATO [Plan], like its predecessor, was in progress while a hot war was ongoing, but it was actually conceived before the conflict in question (the Korean War) began, continued well beyond the cessation of hostilities, and, in fact, was generated with an altogether different problem in mind.   The author's detailed coverage of this particular Canadian military aviation contribution to NATO, with photo illustrations from the archives of our Department of National Defence via Editorial Board member Major Bill March (retired), serves the history well. Other aspects of Canada's global (NATO, UN, and NORAD) aviation commitments will feature in at least four additional Journal items across the next dozen or so numbers. There are plenty of other genres in the works, of course, but I must admit, as NATO commemorates its 75th year, it is nice to have a historian of Leo's calibre remind us that we were there from the very beginning.

Driver.   Reginald Harrison grew up on a farm near the hamlet of Finnie, Saskatchewan during the Dirty Thirties. His interest in flying was heightened as he watched fighter pilots do loops in the sky above his family’s farm, training for the Second World War. Seeking adventure, Reg became an RCAF bomber pilot in England. During his service, he survived four crashes – none of which were his fault – and several close calls.   Reginald Harrison became one of the few Canadians in the famed wartime “Guinea Pig Club” after receiving reconstructive skin graft surgery. He was named an “Honorary Snowbird” by the renowned Canadian Forces’ aerobatics display team. He is a celebrated war veteran whose stories will captivate and educate readers from teens to seniors.   This book retails from the publisher for $25.95 + tax. We are selling it as a CAHS fund-raiser at a discount rate of $21 (plus $7 shipping) in Canada. Written by Deana J.

Skip the rest of this section and come back later if you wish to guess/research the answers first. Good luck and have fun! ANSWER 1: “An invention which had been of inestimable value in training fighting pilots had just been perfected a short time before. This was the camera gun which was placed on a training machine in exactly the same way as a machine gun and was connected with the firing trigger in such a way that when the pilot aimed his sights at another machine and pulled the trigger, the camera recorded the accuracy of his aim by means of cross-lines which showed the position of the other aeroplane in the negative in relation to the line of sight of the gun. In carrying out the training with these gun cameras, two machines would go into the air and engage each other in mimic combat. After a number of harmless “shots” had been exchanged, the film would be developed immediately after their return to the ground and the respective pilots could see without any possibility of doubt how accurate their aim had been. This device not only made it possible to correct errors in aiming, but also quickly disclosed the combination of shooting and flying skill which produced the really deadly air fighter.” Source: Canada’s Fighting Airmen, pg. 252 (Drew)   ANSWER 1: “An invention which had been of inestimable value in training fighting pilots had just been perfected a short time before.

For No. 2 SFTS, Ottawa, a $267,869 contract went to Garvock Construction to construct accommodations buildings; $307,750 for 112-by-125-foot hangars was awarded to Brennan Construction; and $119,568 for the drill hall, hospital, and other buildings went to Dagenair Construction.”    Source: Wings For Victory, pg. 61 (Dunmore)   ANSWER 2: “By the end of 1939, contracts began to flow.

The V-weapons were to be stored in massive, concrete bunkers, impermeable to Bomber Command’s existing ordnance. Although by late 1943 the Command had the 12,000-pound high explosive bombs previously mentioned, these bombs had very thin casings and would shatter when dropped on solid concrete. However, the fertile mind of Barnes Neville Wallis had conceived and developed plans for a heavy, strong-cased and extremely streamlined bomb to be dropped accurately from great height on these hardened targets. With a terminal velocity in excess of the speed of sound, the bomb would impact with such energy that it would penetrate deeply underground prior to detonating, so that a series of sub-surface shock waves would collapse the heaviest structures from below. Known as Tallboy, this 12,000-pound weapon, fitted only to the Lancaster, was placed in serious production during the winter of 1943-44. The ultimate operational weapon in this category was the 22,000-pound Grand Slam. This massive, 25-foot 6-linch weapon, produced both in Britain and the United States, was delivered in limited numbers in February 1945, too late to see broad operational service. With a limited number of German targets still needing its attentions, 617 Squadron nonetheless managed to drop forty-one of the behemoths on various U-boat pens. The U-boat pens at Farge near Bremen had their twenty-three-foot solid reinforced concrete roofs successfully pierce by these awesome conventional weapons.”   Source: No Prouder Place, pg. 325 (Bashow) ANSWER 3: “The emergence of this new suite of German secret V-weapons, coupled with the extensive reinforcement of the U-boat and E-boat pens, required some new weapon for the Allies with a sophisticated penetrating capability.
