In and early , with the advent of small operators to perform the charter and small off-line services, Canadian Pacific Air Lines presented to the Air Transport Board a proposal to withdraw from bush operations with small air— craft where these could be economically performed in the interests of the public by the smaller individual operators. As a result, Canadian Pacific Air Lines, which was by this time taxed almost to the limit in the movement of men and supplies to the Canol project, was required to carry much of its own company material as well; company material essential to carry on the business of supplying adequate services to these important war projects. Byrd, who in the summer of was based at Etah, North Greenland, with an expedi— tion headed by Donald B. Army Air Transport Command flew the Alaska Highway route, and when Army pilots ferried fighters and light bombers over it to the Soviet Union, there were inevitable crackups. Their belief in aviation and its progress was the gospel which buoyed them up through blizzards and strandings. Cole: Canadian Pacific Air Lines Tons of material and men had to be flown in to Alaska and to points between Edmonton and Alaska and this work was done almost entirely by C. The Fort Churchill base had Canadian meteorological service from the outset. In the previous two years it had made the first flight across the Barrens from Hudson Bay westward, had carried the first airmail in Canada west of Winnipeg, and had been used by Leigh Brintnell on his 9,mile itinerary from Winnipeg to Great Bear Lake, Aklavik, Dawson and Prince Rupert. The Army occasionally hired Reeve to ferry personnel from place to place along the route of the Highway, and about two weeks after Willis and the surveyors arrived at Burwash, Reeve flew in with a party of Engineers. Leigh Brintnell's was one of the first commercial companies to equip all their planes with two-way voice and code transmitters and receivers, and the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals' ground stations responded with voice transmitters.

THE TRANSITION TO SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (SMS) IN AVIATION: IS CANADA DEREGULATING FLIGHT SAFETY? RENE´ DAVID-COOPER* ABSTRACT In 2013, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) adopted Annex 19 to the Chicago Convention to implement Safety Management Systems (SMS) for airlines around the world. While most ICAO Member States worldwide are still in the early stages of introducing SMS, Canada became the first and only ICAO country in 2008 to fully implement SMS for all Canadian-registered airlines. This article will highlight the documented shortcomings of SMS in Canada during the implementation of the first ever SMS framework in civil aviation. While air carriers struggled to un- derstand and introduce SMS into their operations, this article will illustrate how Transport Canada (TC) did not have the knowledge or the necessary resources to properly guide airline operators during this transition, how SMS was improperly tai- lored for smaller air carriers, and how the Canadian govern- ment canceled safety inspections around the country, leaving many air carriers partially unregulated.

  • World War II in Alaska
    World War II in Alaska Front Cover: Canadian and American troops make an amphibious landing on the Aleutian island of Kiska, August 15, 1943. (Archives and Manuscripts Department, University of Alaska Anchorage) Rear Cover: Russian pilots participating in the Lend-Lease Program inspect an American fighter at Ladd Field near Fairbanks, circa 1944. (Alaska Historical Library, Juneau, Alaska) Publication funded by Alaska Support Office National Park Service 2000 U.S. Department of the Interior Anchorage, Alaska A Resource Guide for Teachers and Students Introduction This resource guide is designed to aid students and teachers in researching Alaska’s World War II history. Alaska’s role as battlefield, lend-lease transfer station, and North Pacific stronghold was often overlooked by historians in the post-war decades, but in recent years awareness has been growing of Alaska’s wartime past. This renewed interest generates exciting educational opportunities for students and teachers researching this chapter in the history of our state. Few people know that the only World War II battle fought on U.S. soil took place in Alaska or that Japanese forces occupied two Aleutian Islands for more than a year. Still fewer know of the Russian pilots who trained in Fairbanks, the workers who risked their lives building the Alaska Highway, or the Alaska Scouts who patrolled the Bering Sea coast. The lives of Alaskans were forever changed by the experience of war, and the history of that dramatic era is still being written. This resource guide begins with a map of important World War II sites and a summary of Alaska’s World War II experience.

  • “Punch” Dickins and the Origin of Canol's Mackenzie Air Fields
    ARCTIC VOL. 32, NO.4 (DEC. 1979), P. 366-373 “Punch” Dickins and the Origin of Canol’s Mackenzie Air Fields P. S. BARRY’ Correspondence between the Canadian flyer, C. H. “Punch” Dickins, and government officials in Ottawa during the early summer of 1942 reveals that the United States Army began building an “unauthorized” military air route to Norman Wells (Fig. 1) much earlier than the U.S. War Department’s official histories admit, and that, although Canada’s Cabinet War Committee professedly knew nothing of it, certain Canadian government personnel were privy to the secret. In anote to the American ambassadordated 17 September 1942 Hugh Keenleyside, Canadian Assistant Under Secretary of State,requested information regarding rumours that the U.S. Army Engineers “intended” to operateand maintain a chain of airportsfor wheeled aircraft from Fort McMurray to Norman Wells to assist the movingof freight for the Canol Project, a wartime scheme to pipe crude oil from Norman Wells to a new refinery in Whitehorse onthe Northwest Staging Routeto Alaska. Keenleyside pointed out that diplomatic agreements of 27 and 29 June 1942 covering Canol had not provided for airports in the Mackenzie Valley, nor had the Government of Canada been asked for permission to build them. The American ambassador, Pierrepont Moffat, answered on 5 October that the Army Engineers did indeed “contemplate” the construction of landing strips, and heexpressed the hope that Canadian authorities would concur in interpreting the Canol agreements as encompassing “essential supply lines and other means of communications” for the pipeline project (Clark, 1943; Keenleyside, 1943). Two days later (7 October 1942) the War Committee of Prime Minister Mackenzie King’s Cabinet took official note of “certain projects put in hand without reference to Canada,” including seven of Canol’s airports (Foster, 1943 a).

Following an evocative foreword from activist and community organizer, Ed Wesley, the book begins with a discussion of black involvement in the Paciÿc whaling industry during the middle and late-nineteenth century. It then discusses how the Gold Rush and the World Wars shaped Alaska and brought thousands of black migrants to the territory. °e ÿnal chapters analyze black history in Alaska in our contemporary era. It also presents a series of biographical sketches of notable black men and women who passed through or settled in Alaska and contributed to its politics, culture, and social life. °is book highlights the achievements and contributions of Alaska’s black community, while demonstrating how these women and men have endured racism, fought injustice, and made a life and home for themselves in the forty-ninth state. Indeed, what one then ÿnds in this book is a history not well known, a history of African Americans in the last frontier. Ian C. Hartman / Ed Wesley C. Hartman Ian National Park Service by Ian C.
