Canadian Air Cadet Magazine 1941-1948 DVD

 

Compiled on a DVD is a near complete set of the “Canadian Air Cadet” magazine that was produced from 1941 to 1948ish. With almost every issue from volume 1 to volume 5 and a few from volume 6 – 7, this magazine gives a great insight to what was happening in the cadet movement during that time.  Articles talk about different squadrons and what they are up to, different squadrons that recently formed.  Articles about aircraft recognition, how the war is progressing, and some articles from different airmen about their experiences during the war, some of whom are former air cadets.

 

Almost every copy is in great condition except for V1N3 and V5N5 which has some parts cut out from some of the pages.  I suspect this was done by a young lad who was putting together an aircraft scrap book during the war.  This was something that was encouraged during Air Crew training to aid in the memorization of aircraft recognition, which was something that was tested and expanded upon at every stage of training.
