These accounts were written first and were the foundations for my book “At the crossroads of time: the story of Operational Training Unit 31, RCAF No. 7 Squadron, and RCAF Tiger Force Debert Airfield during the Second World War”. The papers are individual - stand alone records of air training of what was at the time, the nascent beginnings of anti-submarine warfare on Canada’s East Coast. This book is dedicated to the men and women who lived and died at what was essentially on the home front, here in Canada, on Canada’s East Coast during the Second World War.

  • French Canadian Literature Julie Rodgers, National University of Ireland Maynooth
    FrenCH Canadian Literature Julie Rodgers, National University of Ireland Maynooth 1. General Reference (Se) Raconter des histoires. Histoire et histoires dans les littératures francophones du Canada, ed. Lucie Hotte, Sudbury, Prise de Parole, 688 pp., contains articles from over 30 researchers from a wide variety of disciplines including lit., history, and sociology, whose aim is to highlight the diversity of French-Canadian storytelling in terms of plot, theme and style as well as its relationship to both the national project and personal narrative. The work of an impressive range of writers is examined in this text, among whom the most familiar are perhaps Antonine Maillet, Elise Turcotte, and Herménégilde Chiasson. Histoire littéraire des femmes. Cas et enjeux, ed. Chantal Savoie, Quebec, Nota Bene, 339 pp., presents us with a consideration of Quebec literary history from an alternative perspective by focusing on the often overlooked role of women writers and their important contribution to national literary production in Quebec. The book examines the ways in which women writers were, in the past, constrained in their writing, in terms of the material that they were allowed to cover, the fact that they were forced to adopt pseudonyms in order to have their work published and, as was the case for Germaine Guèvremont and Rina Lasnier, the text cites, denied the success that their writing merited at the time of its publication. Traditional Quebec literary history is depicted as essentially a history of exclusion with regard to women writers, and the aim of this text is to address such failings.

    Captain Steve Thompson Photo: DGPA / Combat Camera, Sergeant Dennis J. Mah THE CANADIAN AIR FORCE JOURNAL is an official publication of the Chief of the Air Staff and is published quarterly. It is a forum for discussing concepts, issues and ideas that are both crucial and central to aerospace power. The Journal is dedicated to disseminat- ing the ideas and opinions of not only Air Force personnel, but also those civilians who have an interest in issues of aerospace power. Articles may cover the scope of Air Force doctrine, training, leadership, lessons learned and Air Force operations: past, present or future. Submissions on related subjects such as ethics, technology and Air Force history are also invited. This Journal is therefore dedicated to the expression of mature professional thought on the art and science of air warfare and is central to the intellectual health of the Air Force. It serves as a vehicle for the continuing education and professional development of all ranks and personnel in the Air Force as well as members from other environments, employees of government agencies and academia concerned with Air Force affairs. n EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-Chief: Colonel Michael Dabros Senior Editor: Major William March EDITORIAL BOARD Colonel William Lewis - Strategic Joint Staff Colonel Randall Wakelam - Canadian Forces College Major Paul Johnston - Canadian Forces Aerospace Warfare Centre Major William March - Canadian Forces Aerospace Warfare Centre Major Raymond Stouffer - Royal Military College Doctor Allan English - Queen’s University
