Crusader - Thanks for the response. I've always been interested in old airbases. I live 3 miles from the site of #1 Bombing and Gunnery School which was the first of the many air bases established in Canada under the Commonwealth Training Program during the last war. Men from all the British Commonwealth , the U.S. and Poland trained at these bases in all aspects of air-power , ranging from pilot training to bombing, gunnery and navigation. Thirty nine men died in training accidents at this site alone.
If you ever get a chance to see a movie titled "Captains of the Clouds", this movie starring James Cagney , was partially shot at Jarvis.
We also have a flying museum at Hamilton Ont. with the only flying Lancaster in North America. The only other flying "Lanc" is in England.
I would be interested in learning of the web sites you have in mind (can never know enough).
Thanks again , Jim
