Wings for Victory : The Remarkable Story of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan in Canada Book

At its peak, Canada's British Commonwealth Air Training Plan was graduating over 3,000 aircrew a month from over 100 training schools across Canada. This is the compelling record of the huge mobilization of personnel and resources required to get the plan off the ground and make it work day by day.Above all it is the story of the young men who entered the scheme as clerks, and farmers, students and salesmen, and graduated as pilots, navigators, air gunners, air bombers, and flight engineers. They would be counted among the best-trained airmen in the world and became Canada's principal contribution to victory in World War II.
