Taking flight : the Royal Canadian Air Force centennial and the 75th anniversary of the first non-stop trans-Canada flight
Join us as we commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force. From its humble beginnings to its modern-day operations, we explore the RCAF's rich history, highlighting key moments like the two World Wars, the groundbreaking trans-Canada flight (celebrating its 75th anniversary), the contributions of Canadian pilots during both World Wars and the role of women in aviation. With insights from aviation expert Randall Wakelam, former member of the Royal Canadian Air Force, Professor Emeritus, and author of Wings of War and Peace, a history of the Royal Canadian Air Force in the early Cold War, we delve into the challenges and triumphs that shaped the RCAF and its enduring legacy.
