Pilots, Observers and Air Gunners Recruiting Pamphlet from BCATP

Hello all once again!

I know that I have been promising you a new post on here for quite some time and I think I have a real treat for you this time.

I recently received a batch of new photos and pamphlets from the BCATP and I really wanted to share the recruiting pamphlet with you. I think it really speaks to the manner in which the military recruited aircrew for the BCATP and subsequently the fight for WWII.

REMEMBRANCE DAY-NOVEMBER 11TH/2010

Hello all and another appology for the long, long breaks between posts on this BCATP blog.

Here's hoping you all got the chance to pay your respects to the veterans of the Canadian Armed forces in your own unique way today. I attended the services here in Airdrie, Alberta and was pleasantly surprised for the second year running at the wonderful turnout. It is estimated that more than 1500 people were at Genesis Place for the indoor ceremony which featured a large number of veterans along with many representatives of the Canadian Armed Forces, the R.C.M.P., firefighters, Air, Navy and Army Cadets along with many, many service groups.

Check out my companion blog "Airdrie Legion" for many photos of today's events.

I have recently acquired another great collection of BCATP photos and paraphenalia which I look forward to sharing with you very soon.

Thanks again all for your patience.
